Replacing a corrupt system with a different corrupt system isn't progress.


It is though. There's now 2 corrupt systems lobbying in different directions. We can now have them play against each other.

When corruption is enshrined by the law itself what other way do you have to fight it except to have the corrupt play off against each other.

The taxi industry existed for centuries (perhaps longer) in the cartel form. It's amazing progress to see that their power is no longer absolute.


At least one of which has the explicit aim of displacing the actual solution to the problem: effective public transport.


More lobbying isn’t good for the public, even if it’s done in “different directions “


Isn’t it strictly better if no groups from the old system got worse, but some groups that transferred got better.
