Default Very simple answer the government's lack of interest

Our Govt, meaning the US, as there are many govt around the world, is now populated with people who love being in power more than being a leader. Most have never had to lead in the true sense of the word, which includes shared sacrifice.

Also, the supreme court decision which allowed corporations to act as voting entities allowing political contributions has created a third party to the people electing government officials, and they have much deeper pockets than individuals.

I urge all of you to read Tom Nichol's book, "Our Own Worst Enemy: The Assault from within on Modern Democracy"
Amazon.com

You can see this happening very slowly within the political organization of "The Villages"

and yes, you and I (the royal we) are all still humans with all the normal human foibles available to us to falter with, the most common being believing in stories but weighting negative stories much more heavily for survival. ..
