    societies that give citizens no way to control their own lives, but put the fate of their people in the hands of distant masters with no concern at all for their wellbeing, invite disaster.

    There will be no forthcoming legislation to shore up a century of regulatory capture. This government was built for elite landowners all the way back to Jefferson. The author glosses over it (even mentioning the fact that Jefferson saw the eventuality of a revolt) but that’s (IMO) a feature not a bug.
