Reform theater is the most addictive drug for politics enjoyers.
Very few stop to ask: Who decides what counts as "reform"?
Most people will just accept "reform" as proof the system works, even when nothing substantive changes.
In reality, a political reform is just a creation of a release valve by labeling controlled adjustments as big transformations.
Look at how powerful this politician is! He brought back plastic straws. Based!
And of course, it goes both ways. E.g. Elon Musk on something truly reformative such as Bitcoin: "Dogecoin is better, it has lower transaction costs!".
So, the meta question is: Who decides what counts as "reform"?
