It turns out a bunch of CEOs are lowkey psychopaths for exactly the reasons you state and idk that I like where that's led us. I think the better answer is continually educating people on their both right and obligation to routinely engage in self political representation. People keep voting red or blue once every 4 years and expect those people to make decisions in their best interest in that time. Like that's not even just a two party problem at that point it's like. Who're your local judges? Who's in charge of your school board? Who's the police chief? Do you bother them about shit on the regular? I won't say I'm great at that but that's the issue. Everybody just needs to be more involved. Everywhere. All the time.
Oh "why do good girls like bad guys" is one of those questions of the ages. It exists for many reasons, but the short list is:
there's a fine line between confidence and assholery solution: may you have the strength to change the things you can, the patience to endure the things you can't, and the wisdom to know the difference. Once you trust your judgment in such things, act confidently on them, or at least try to look it.
there's a bunch of emotions that are neurochemically identical and that can often be misattributed as each other and "scared" and "horny" share most of the same neurotransmitters. Solution: go see a scary movie, go to a rollercoaster park, or do a physical activity together that involves cardio.
daddy issues and other psychosocial toxicity that you probably don't want anything to do with anyway. Solution: don't put your dick in (or your vagina on) crazy.
Men are animals. Women are also animals. They usually get along better overall when they're both trying to be mindful of that, both for their own sake and that of the other person.
