[–] 3 points 3 weeks ago

I've read a few articles that discuss this, one discussed a panel put together by big publishing houses to address the lack of male readership. The panel had 13 participants 12 were women in the publishing industry. There conclusion was that men just didn't have the capacity to read the material that was being published today - when in fact most of what is being published is focused on very specific more feminine population. Sounded to me like there was no real desire to change what was working for them so they just blamed men for not wanting to read the books that were being published.

    What frustrates me is that this small cabal of people have decided that they don't need nor want to have any input from the remaining 99.999% of the population before just doing crazy shit to the planet.

    My thought is that for many many years politicians didn't really have to do anything to re-elected. And when they were asked to do something they would always say "we can't afford that." or they would write a bill that would promise "thing" will get funded 10 years from now. So these lifelong politicians have turned into lazy fucks just there for the money and are pissed at these younger officials that are actually doing the job they were elected to do.

    I have to admit I had been lulled into a sense of nothing will change attitude and now that I see how wrong I was I've become quite pissed off.
