Theres more but its gone now.
Heres the short gist of it:
There are people in charge and, I know this is insane, but who actually get paid to figure this stuff out.
They're called: The Government.
Unfortunately they're stupid. Thats our fault.
Its like asking a 4 year old to take care of the International Space Station. He'll try his best but its going to be a disaster.
All that hysterical hyperbole aside, whats worse than our Government being stupid?
You cant cure stupid. Whats worse is that our Government knows they're stupid and they just dont care.
They just be stupid all day and screw up other people's lives and then go home and admire their paycheques and their pensions that they didnt earn.
Not caring about other people is whats worse than being stupid. In case anyone was wondering.

Your responses are becoming a lot less rational.
Do you honestly believe
"our Government knows they're stupid and they just dont care."
If you actually believe this I'm not sure there is much point to discussing issues with you.
We can have a debate if the government is making bad decisions or is unqualified. We can discuss policy and consequences of policy. We can disagree. But to say they are aware of their own incompetence and yet do nothing to fix it is nonsensical.
They are incentivised to get re-elected. They get re-elected by convincing close to a majority of Albertans that they are competent. You don't do that by "knowing you are stupid and not caring"
And yes I am serious. The government and opposition for every policy position should have the economic analysis from people who favour their position and those that disagree with their position and an evaluation as to why they follow one position over the other. They should also have the measurables they will be tracking to evaluate whether or not policy is effective over the next few years.
