@OrionFed@mas.to at some point it becomes up to the voters to stop reelecting doofuses.

But on the other hand, keep in mind that constrained budgets also means less ability to hire that unqualified nephew.

Heck, it even gives excuses to the individuals involved: "Sorry, brother, I can't hire your son because the money just isn't in the budget for it."

But yeah, I'm happy to be realistic all day long. In the end, I'm quite frustrated with voters who vote for obviously corrupt officials who've already shown they can't do the job anyway.
