    and government structures always have a ton of inertia if they are working even moderately ok.

    I think that is what @snooggums is saying here.

    It is an old system that is outdated, but it still works well enough in most cases that there is no real political will to change it. Most would rather devote their efforts to just making the system work, which is what we have seen in these more recent elections.

    I don’t want to sound like I am defending the system - I think the US government should be more centralized when it comes to things like education and I do agree these things are totally outdated. But, I do not think this is going to change anytime soon.
