You could always try and run and fix that yourself. Or propose solutions to those in charge. Or rally support for a movement to garner the attention of officials. No system is perfect. Perhaps starting a tech movement with code.

I've certainly thought about it. But I don't think I have what it take to win an election. And yeah the fundamental problem with democracy imo is that skill to win an election does not equal the skill it takes to govern. We systemically conduct "job interviews" for politicians on the wrong set of skills.
I also do alot (in my opinion) to improve the world in my corner. It's not possible for 1 person to fix healthcare AND climate change AND education AND homelessness, etc.
How do you know you could fix all if you haven't shown you can fix one? And finding a way to talk to someone in charge is far easier than running, small steps work too. For context, Teachers are protesting en route to pick up my dog around where I live. Didn't know that till now.

I never claimed I could. In fact I never claimed I could fix even one one of those things.
I mean maybe you could. Who knows. But you are correct. Read in haste. But you did frame it in a hero as one person. I'd think it could maybe be lead by someone. But would require cooperation.
