Thanks to @bigblen for pointing me at https://www.theregister.com/2021/09/13/eu_open_source_study_highlights/ - gee, wonder if NZ gov't could learn anything from these recommendations? On the plus side, we have a much smaller ship to turn around... On the negative... we haven't got a single IT-savvy politician (and only the most sporadic evidence of any savvy policy makers or advisers).
@lightweight @bigblen It'd be nice to see a greed index rating applied to politicians and distributed as voter education. The index could be wealth accumulation vs societal good, and it would be based upon personal wealth, voting records, time spent volunteering, social giving, social cost of actions, etc. There's probably enough information on line to construct such a measure.
There needs to be some kind of personal happiness weighting to allow for leisure.
