    Is it though?
    CEOs don’t want to risk their profits.
    Politicians don’t want to risk their terms.
    Voters don’t want to lower their living standards.

    No one really wants to do something.

      Voters not wanting to lower their living standards is the real elephant in the room. You tell someone that they should eat 1 less hamburger a week and all of a sudden you’re dodging bullets.

        I think this is our natural reaction because we aren’t aware of the scope of lobbying and corruption that influence global politics and supply chains.
