Being Canadian, I learned that one out of five of us work for the government. Thus, if we were to minimize our bureaucracy akin to that of Javier Milei, the unemployment rate would skyrocket. It's concerning as people have families and themselves to support, but Canada's suffocating from governmental overreach. Many very difficult decisions have to be made, and virtually nobody wants to because no one wants to fall from grace.
No doubt, BIGGER is not better--except for BIGGER. Which is why I like the spirit of our country's founding principles that emphasize empowering the individual, not government.
Speaking of which: Imagine the impact of finally discovering a free and limitless power source, what that would do FOR the individual (and against BIGGER), including the devices such a discovery would inspire and produce. Who needs Amazon/Whole Foods, Nuclear Power Plants, or Washington DC?
That would be incredible. But given what I know of the universe, I'm skeptical that such a source will ever be found. For now, nuclear seems to be our best option for an inexpensive and environmentally sound source of energy.
I agree with you, Sarah.

It's disheartening.

I've seen "science" postings about harnessing the energy of microscopic Black Holes. Fantasy? Like Cold Fusion?
Interesting, assuming micro black holes exist. They'd radiate away very quickly, but maybe that'd be the source of energy?
