If the management is so incompetent, howcome malnutrition is dropping
in both absolute and relative terms, most infectious diseases are
substantially under control, literacy is spreading like wildfire, and
the birth rate is dropping everywhere?
Incomes and life expectancies are increasing, war is now confined to a
couple of backward areas of the world as a silly relic, and human
comity has advanced to the point where we have UN courts, UN forces,
and international agreements like the Montreal Protocol on chemical
pollutants.
Looks like reasonable good management to me. I think we're all doing
pretty well.
Relax. Have a homebrew.
