    Failures in every way except for gaining power and wealth. A few of them anyway. The sad reality is that throughout history being ruthless always paid off to a large extent.

      Some of the leadership is getting a lot of wealth, true. The majority seem to be losing more. Loss of government programs (eg: Medicare). Return of preventable diseases (eg: measles). Pollution and climate change.
