You're not wrong.

I have given up hope that government can be anything other than a vector of corruption anymore. It's too entrenched. There was a moment when I had hope Trump might do some of the things he got elected to do. However, once he began picking a cabinet, all hope was lost.

Fortunately, people are still good, even if there are bad people. As decentralized means of production continue to disperse throughout the market and be developed, the power of all institutions is decreased, as institutions rely on parasitism of transactions for their wealth and power. When we make our own goods and services, we eliminate parasitization.

Crooked politicians can't pass laws of physics. The laws of physics are decentralizing power, and freedom is growing as a result.
