The answers lie in the fact that people need jobs and so sometimes the point 
is not to do the work properly or fix the squeaky door, the point is to get 
someone to pretend to fix things by hiring them and sometimes the point is 
not to fix things.
Drugs abuse, prevention pollution and crime and even war, and stock market 
is set up this way for people to have jobs,  Not to really make the world 
better.Seriously you think our society couldn't do more against violent 
crime or pollution? I think they can. same for drugs. But what would be the 
cost in jobs? If everyone ws more or less drug free and there were no fears 
of violence or wars and people didn't have underground economy or production 
of weapons what would happen? Could people find enough jobs to sustain 
hunger and frustration of not having enough? I assume policy holders think 
not. so the status quo remains unless the lines are crossed. With pollution 
the lines are crossed when enough people just find breahing HARD for no 
fault of themselves its time we take urgent action.

I think changes happen but hell we have so much misery and people are often 
so mean to each other in the US sometimes we have to make changes faster or 
we are going to destroy our total value system for being free.

The choices exist the changes are happening slowly. I just want the most 
polluted areas to have more clean air. the regulations are not working. I am 
not saying research and prive incentives won't make change happen in the 
future but it took complaining. It took people to see what so many told me I 
was nuts before. I am not nuts , I see exactly the amount of pollutants in 
the air, I warned people back eight years ago. Now families flock to clean 
air and some people are motivated enough to accept to see the possible 
consequences long term. We have private industry working on changes but I 
still think the industries that aresponsible  for energy have a 
responsiblity to provide cleaners on their production facilities. I wonder 
if real change happens because of alternatives or because people vote those 
that slept with the status quo energy companies for so long out, (assuming 
we really are free). I think its criminal what they have been allowed to do 
( energy companies and politicians ) .
