#MayorLurie - Do you realize you're building #distrust when you support this sort of decision making? This is not good governance.

It may be that the selection criteria staff came up with were incorrect. In that case, revising the decision criteria, clearly identifying what needed to be revised, and why, makes sense. Overruling the criteria that were approved for use? Nope. Or did your senior staff person fail to review the criteria to begin with? Equally Nope

Overruling a recommendation based on the official selection criteria just because one person (or was it 2?) disagrees with the result is #BadGovernance and #BreaksTrust with the people.

Something else I took away from the MSN slideshow was the importance of #BuildingCommunity and perhaps embracing #Anarchy (as in "No Rulers, No Kings"). These days, the ruling class are corporate executives and greedy politicians. Certainly, many who are currently in charge are failing us and the environment!

6. Political systems cannot coordinate responses to global crises.

"Democratic governance systems designed for gradual policy adjustments cannot process the rapid, fundamental changes required to address simultaneously occurring economic, #environmental, and social crises that demand coordinated international responses exceeding current institutional capabilities. Political polarization and short electoral cycles prevent the #LongTermPlanning and #ResourceAllocation necessary to navigate systemic challenges that span decades and require #SustainedCooperation across competing #national interests.

"#InternationalCooperation continues deteriorating as #ResourceScarcity and climate impacts intensify competition between nations, while domestic political systems fragment under the stress of managing declining living standards and increasing inequality that undermine social cohesion. The failure of governance systems to facilitate necessary changes creates the kind of institutional breakdown that characterizes the transition from complex societies to simpler, more localized forms of social organization that can better adapt to resource constraints and environmental instability."
