Run for elections or get a job in government.
There are 90 thousand government agencies. Local, city, county, state, etc... There are people out there who wants you to think they are all like the DMV or dysfunctional like the Senate and Congress.
Or worse, that the private sector somehow is where the challenge is. Maybe where you can get richer, but look at the department of agriculture or any other major government institution. $150b in budget and 100k employees. You find me a private company with similar size and a mission to feed 380M people.
The US needs a renaissance of the importance and virtue of public service. Our best minds are selling ads or consulting to shave off 0.001% of sub-prime derivatives in nanoseconds.
The government is us, and it’s huge and slow and careful and conservative and complex. But it needs us inside to change.
PS: I got inspired by words from Anand Giridharadas, so bonus points if you recognized any from his interviews.
