It's not just the US, it's people everywhere.

I could say that not everybody is enough of a problem-solving leader, but realistically it's almost nobody who is enough of a problem-solving leader.

And those that are, they have been systematically blocked by an institutional structure overwhelmingly built & dominated by those having much less leadership ability, with most of the upper echelon having merely prevailed during occasions of good fortune through reactive financial manipulation as opposed to gifted visionary problem-solving.

Seems like it's now a majority around the world who are settling for a declining caliber of leader, lower than would have been acceptable when inherent greatness was more often a characteristic of top decision-makers.

Those hollow suits have really proliferated in recent decades, odds are getting worse that those who aspire strongest to organizational leadership are usually the least suitable for the job. Especially when it comes to problem-solving of any kind, much less groundbreaking progress like was seen so much more in the past.

And you would like to see novel problems being solved?

Major problems? Lol.

The system would have to be reversed dramatically just to overcome some well-recognized nominal snafus.
