      Except the problems are worse and more numerous, and the President isn’t looking for an expert, plus he’s one of the bigger problems.

        Yeah, the problem in Idiocracy is that there was no one intelligent enough to listen to. In reality, there’s plenty of intelligence, but few in power listen to the ones trying to better the planet. Theyre all more concerned about accumulating power and the next election cycle. If it doesnt look good, no matter how many it might help, its not worth doing to them.

        We don’t have time for a hand job Joe!
