Or... and hear me out...
Our entire governmental structure needs to be less buried in bureaucratic bullshit and more able to deal with issues like this.
But, as always, this is too much to ask. The reason for this being as convoluted as our congressional procedures is obvious... or, so I thought. 
The moment we make our governmental activities more convoluted and difficult to understand, the more we get regimes like the current one as people disengage and find the whole thing impossible to follow or understand.
But, let's keep on doing it.
Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
