Business has to do something right or it’ll evaporate. Politicians also have to do something right or they won’t get elected.

But business has to do more specific nice things for more people, more frequently, or they’ll be gone long before an election cycle. Politicians have a few selection events every few years.

The evolutionary pressure on business is far greater, so they reflect what we truly want much better - good or bad.

Look at some lists of top companies from 20, 30, 50 years ago. Juggernauts in their time, most of them have long been out-evolved.

Same with rich families, inherited money rarely lasts more than a few generations and tends to decline precipitously with each new batch of heirs.

But we have politicians routinely kicking around for decades based on nothing but platitudes and general charm.
