"We are ardent believers in the power of government to improve people’s lives, and appreciate the frustration with unnecessary delays. In some cases, especially exclusionary zoning and other land use rules in wealthy suburbs, the current legal restrictions are in fact excessive. However, the proper answer to government dysfunction and the authoritarian threat at home and abroad is largely the same today as it was during the New Deal: Rather than railroad the public with top-down directives or megaprojects imposed by Washington and state capitols, we must renew our national commitment to democracy and public participation with ambitious acts of bold economic governance.
The Trump Administration’s ability to move with lightning speed to impose unwanted infrastructure like Alligator Alcatraz on unwilling host communities, militarize cities with masked police and troops, and increase surveillance of Americans makes clear the urgency of balancing the state’s capacity to act decisively with the need for democratic legitimacy. “State capacity” is not inherently good: The what and how of state action matter.
Moreover, in the medium and long term, the tradeoff between state capacity and democratic participation disappears—and even reverses. Public input into government decisions, including in environmental review procedures, not only restrains the worst tendencies of unaccountable state power but also enhances the capacity of the state itself, by providing valuable feedback to state technocrats about what is working and what isn’t. While turning off these feedback channels may generate a sugar high of quick results, doing so, as state capacity liberals propose, dooms effective governance further down the road. Top-down technocracy is brittle, and availing ourselves of shortcuts around the public is ultimately self-defeating."

How does #democracy, #inclusion and #participation relate to the #resilience of our society to #collapse? 🌋 The research I reviewed shows that all those factors are important to have a stable society during catastrophic events. However, they only work if you also have the #StateCapacity to implement the interventions needed.

“The Transit Cost Project has a detailed analysis of infrastructure costs around the world, and finds that many European countries build infrastructure at reasonable costs, and host competent civil servants who manage them effectively. The UK — and especially the US — build far more expensive.”

उत्तराखंड में पिछले 22 साल से भर्ती दर भर्ती हो रहे पेपर लीक और घोटालों से युवा हताश हो चुके हैं। विरोध में आवाज उठाने वाले युवाओं का पुलिसिया दमन हो रहा। ऐसे में काशीपुर व पिथौरागढ़ से देहरादून पहुंची इन बेटियों के आंसुओं और आक्रोश का कोई जवाब है सरकार के पास?

We have been informed that the Govt. of K'taka will make all directly employed pourakarmikas (sweepers) permanent workers. This is a tremendous victory for the workers who went on strike and struggled for years on end demanding justice. Inquilab Zindabad!

I think it's worth celebrating that the FAA basically solved the problem in under 30 minutes. #StateCapacity
That said, it being national breaking news is a function of the fact that journalists fly at rates no normal person would dream of.

रेलवे ग्रुप डी का रिजल्ट आ गया है. EWS के कट-ऑफ, ओबीसी के कट-ऑफ से 10-15 नम्बर तक कम है.
जो लोग EWS सर्टिफिकेट बना रखें हैं उनमें से 90% लोग संपन्न होते हैं मैं ऐसे लोगों को पर्सनली जानता हूँ जिनके घर के प्रत्येक रूम में एसी लगा है ।
