That is, I think, closer to the root of the problem. Until the people who live near the root of the problem understand that it is going to require action on their part to remedy the situation, the buck is going to get passed.
Legislators will throw legislation and wasted money at the problem to virtue signal, show how “down with the struggle” they are, and buy votes, but it won’t fix the problem.
That’s why I always say... where is Slobadon Milosevic when you need him!!??
