It’ll never be smart, because we always demand more of it. Which is fair. Being better than the average, being better than before, and moving in the right direction are all excellent things that we should be happy about.
I’ve come to accept that the best I can ever hope for from our government is that it’s marginally better than it was before. As long as I don’t look too close at the details to find the ratfuckery or corruption or red tape.
But I refuse to be happy about it the fact that government will always be stupid.
“Nothing is perfect, therefore everything is equally shit.”
What a stupid philosophy. Like all “bothsides” bullshit.
That’s not what I’m saying at all but don’t let that stop you from punching left.
Is the stupid shit Democrats do significantly less stupid than the stupid shit Republicans do?
If you keep getting punched everywhere you go, it’s time for some introspection my friend.
Yes, but it’s still stupid shit that will get done in my name, with my money, that I have no power to prevent.
And in your opinion I should be happy about it.
You’re not happy about a significant reduction in stupidity of the people in control of your government?
You’re happy about our government still being stupid?

Improvement is good and should be appreciated.
