I think where people get frustrated about government is that they expect it to respond to changes in society and technology. They see inertia and think inefficiency.
I think that’s missing the point entirely. What governments offer is stability. “Inertia” is a feature. If governments swung around rapidly the way tech trends change then it would cause tremendous damage to people’s lives and to the economy as a whole.
