So the people running the systems that underlie our lives are incompetent, and don’t know how to keep them running properly. I’m supposed to be reassured by that?

Yes and they have always been incompetent. The only difference is that you are finally starting to realize that society is the result of accepting the bare minimum and continuing on.
The person who made your food at the restaurant: bare minimum
The doctor who performed your surgery: bare minimum
The police officer who saved the child: bare minimum
The politician who was elected: bare minimum
The law that was passed: bare minimum
If you want things to get better, raise the bare minimum and then pay what it costs.
People rarely choose to pay to raise the bare minimum. That is where we are. Our ancestors didn’t have a choice; we just did it because we are selfish and stupid.
