There were more words than that. But even a local investment should not be my responsibility. I pay taxes and work and have a kid with hobbies. The system was designed to not be in the middle of all the time and monitor it like it's on life support. The system was designed to pay attention every six months to a year and hire someone to represent our interests. Not make it a damn hobby.
You make it sound like this system was designed with your interests in mind.
The problem is, the system is broken without direct participation, and most people expect it to just work for them with no more effort than paying most taxes and obeying most laws (and possibly voting).
That is not how it was intended to work. It was never meant to be a high maintenance endeavor. It was meant to be representatively maintained with the constituents in mind.
