No, definitely.

Unironically? Either:

* Mind control.

* Refusing to permit anyone who will enrich themselves at the expense of others to serve as a public servant.

But both seem somewhere between impractical and impossible, so the only workable thing is taking the "Eternal vigilance is the price of Liberty" quote to heart and banding with like-minded fellows to make a world where everyone can spare the time and effort required to keep abreast of what the bastards in charge are doing and keep them from making our world worse to uplift themselves and their friends.

Well, given the state of things; this seems to be working out great for you and I wish you the best of luck there.

> No, definitely.

I'm glad you are so confident but I have achieved actual outcomes; you are just posting on a forum and waiting for mind control. Respectfully, my way is more fun.
