Sadly those in a position to apply reality don’t because they do not want make waves and therefore our outfit becomes more ridiculous every day.
Or perhaps they do try to apply some common sense to the world, but the powers that be hold sway and rule with a clunking fist. They then wait for the wheel to go full circle again after 2 yrs on the all change cycle, but give up eventually due to all the other detrius coming down from on high.
