No talent for governing...

I keep harping that Government is NOT Business... Business is NOT Government and... Religion is NEITHER! So....... It's no surprise when Business and Religious People CANNOT make Government work for the PEOPLE. When we combine Business, Religion and Government with the Military, we then have the necessary ingredients for Fascism. It's kind-of the definition. Or just a cake?
Business exists solely to make... Money.
Government exists to provide security and stability.
Religion exists to explain Metaphysical meaningfulness.
All three are mutually exclusive in their goals and applications, yet essential to Society while operating in their respective lanes.
The overlaps in a Venn Diagram for this would show where corruption and abuse will sooner or later appear, based on the past.
The skill-sets required for each are often wildly inappropriate when applied cross-genre.
Disdain for expertise and experience, quality and qualifications doesn't inspire confidence in successful outcomes.
Appointing staff without experience in their jobs outside Business, Religion, or the Military makes what was a low bar into a chasm.
Little hope for successful outcomes proves Government doesn't work. Right?
Sounds like a plan.
