Yeah it's probably like corruption the optimal number isn't 0 but as close as we can get without hamstringing society. Make it just hard enough so that those who would do it if it was easy can't do it easily and then you have 90% less corruption. Think of it like piracy, it was big in the 2000's when buying DVDs was a thing and storage was getting cheap but record labels and studios were not able to update their business model and the easiest way to get most media for the average user was something like Napster. When streaming came along and Netflix had a massive catalogue and was better in every way to cable and same with music streaming platforms at first piracy almost stopped completely and is only coming back due to enshitification. We need to implement a model like Netflix streaming which aligns incentives for politicians to make good policies and not sell out the country from under us for personal gain by making said decisions have actual negative and immediate consequences, be it trading in the stock market while in office or for a ster period of 2 terms after they serve their time in office, being a lobbyist for a set amount of time before or after presenting themselves as a candidate, and enforcing an open period after a law is drafted for public review and ability to lodge complaints and a 2-4 year reassessment of the law to see if it is actually doing what it was set out to do or not and repeal it if not (with exceptions for laws that govern long term policy such as schools where it can take 14 years for the policy to actually show concrete results.
But that would make sense and be an effective way of making laws and governing and more importantly would stop those who haven't meaningfully added to society from being able to easily profit from it in a way that others can't.
I think Windows is trying their best to make windows as unappealing as possible and Google seems to want to do the same with Android. If there isn't a slow trickle of people to Mac or Linux for computers and things like Iphone, graphene OS, or Linux mobile for cell phones and tablets I would be very surprised.
That and he knows about the Antichrist.
