The sentiment behind this post is, I fear, felt by too many normal people in the world today and not enough leaders. This is usually due to the network graph of leaders (above a certain scale threshold) being correlated with the most out of touch and wealthy - they are the last to hear about the insurance rates for campgrounds. That said, the keyword used more than once in this post is "impotent". There is simply nothing the majority of us can do. And that worries me for obvious reasons. | ||

> The sentiment behind this post is, I fear, felt by too many normal people in the world today and not enough leaders. This brings to mind a recent article from a Toronto newspaper: we recently had municipal elections, and the article noted that most city councillors are home/land owners, but in the new council there are now a few renters as well: > With the election victory Monday night that saw her become the councillor for Parkdale—High Park, the longtime tenant advocate has taken one giant step toward altering the economic makeup of city hall. Before the election, Toronto had no councillors confirmed to be a renter like McNally, and now it will have three. She told the Star she wanted to bring that perspective to the fight against Toronto’s affordability crisis. * https://www.thestar.com/news/gta/city-hall/half-of-toronto-r... | ||
