This thread should be quick. We need to talk about sophistry.
I don't want to sound pretentious. I'm using it because it's a perfect description of the people leading us.
And their complete and total lack of morality.
It won't get better. Sociopaths don't get better.

If you think it through, the current crop of ministers has been through an incredibly taxing Darwinian selection process for their roles.
And that process has resulted in an almost perfectly bad selection of traits to get us through this #coronavirus.

They learned
1. To make whatever promises they wanted without fear of repercussion from a captive press.
2. To provide incoherent explanations of events that needed no logic or solutions beyond keeping their base happy

4. To shift positions at a moment's notice regardless of science or reason if need be
5. To deny in the face of any evidence of those positions.
6. To never have a plan to confront a situation in case it could be used against them
7. To sell failure as success.

Finally, to promise 100s of thousands, millions, billions even, week on week knowing all they had to do was get elected and they could then do whatever they heck they wanted with the prize.
I wouldn't and didn't advocate people like that for anything.

But if there were one job, they were most unsuited for.
One where their actions wouldn't just be despicable but would cause real unnecessary death
It would be the sort of crisis that needed detail, careful planning consensus building across health and local communities

And to pull power from the centre to help communities empower themselves.

Throw those people into a #coronavirus? Make it much worse

Before more innocents die.
