I suspect they don't fully appreciate how many businesses they harm or prevent from starting with the increasing hodgepodge of reporting and regulation requirements.

I'd really like to see very minimal regulation and reporting for businesses below a certain size. If we are going to have all this burdensome regulation stuff, it'd be nice for it to be progressively structured.

That regular people go to jail for their crimes

Politicians cannot comprehend their own insanity, narcissism, psychosis, lunacy.... was I meant to pick one 😂

They get this but pretend to be ignorant. They have more in common with each other than they do with voters and plebs like us. They dont work for us. They work for the power elite. They dont represent us. They represent their overlords. Those that fund and control them. We have this collective delusion that because "we" elect them that they work for us. I dont vote and it makes no difference. I'm just as much under their boot as the loyal supporter.

Skin in the game. Politicians have short term narrow vision towards the next election. The system of democracy incentiveses this outcome. Many unintended consequences result. At best politicians are tools of the power elite. At worst they are self concerned criminals manipulating the public for their own profit.

How unessential they are. Actually completely unnecessary to human flourishing.

Most don't comprehend the free market. I'm tempted to say they don't understand incentives but they clearly do. They base taxation and regulations on removing incentives they dont like. Then they act shocked when there are consequences they didnt expect.

No need to fill in the blank. The sentence already makes perfect sense. :)

That they don't produce any goods or services that satisfy market demand

trading is for fiat maxis

... anything.

They can't even comprehend their own speeches. Someone else writes them to speak. So I doubt they understand any of their promises especially on bitcoin. Someone else calls the shots for them.

productive work

Nuance (at least not the politicians who make enough news to succeed)

Their lack of knowledge and wisdom

There's this saying "speak truth to power" but I think they know and don't care, they're just happy it's not them eating the worst of it. I don't think they comprehend the hubris of putting on the act they do when they ignore poverty, engage in corruption, pass Inflation bills that cause inflation, etc.

The people they represent

their limitations.

What is coming. The tsunami of a global population that realises who they are the same way a dog realises it has a parasitic flea on its back it has tolerated too long

How to run a country 😜🤣
