more like if only enough people actually cared about what is going on in life. Most governments with this issue atm are facing massive apathy in regards to actually voting on what they want. They either don't vote at all, or blind vote not bothing to research anything. I wish I could say this was strictly a US issue as well but, I believe most democratic governments are having this issue. I know for sure Canada is.

It's not that the government is not capable or as inefficient as they are so often portrayed. They are actually quite capable and frighteningly efficient. They're just not working for us anymore.
