Like anything else, some times right, some times wrong.
This is a great "right" moment.
I dread the next "wrong" one.
Just saying "sometimes right, sometimes wrong" is such an oversimplification that it's meaningless.
Yes, almost all real world systems have variable outcomes, that doesn't mean that are some aren't better than others or on average produce better outcomes or ones that drive us in the right direction.
I.e. a system of strong regulators with clear and strong checks and balances (courts and parliament itself), is a far better system than one where corporations are just allowed to operate freely and implement whatever policies they want the instant they have the market power to do so.
My statement was not a critique but just an atempt to make a light remark.
I am fully aware the other option would be living in three ring circus, like the UK is turning into.
Lighten up. Smile.
