I don’t think a government can “care”. A government is not a person. It doesn’t have a brain, thoughts, beliefs, or feelings. It has processes, laws, institutions, etc. which are all run by people.
I do think that most people who get involved in government are interested in making things better in their city, state, nation, etc.
However, their idea of “better” and mine might not agree: we might have different values.
Hey! I agree mostly. I don’t really believe people who get into government are often nterested in making things better though. I think some people get into it to make it worse, which makes more room for market solutions.
I feel like, at the point at which becoming a politician became a dedicated career, things have taken a bit of a nosedive. You can go from school to retirement whilst only ever experiencing political jobs and nothing else that would inform your politics.

Agreed except I’m not sure about "most. Maybe some.
I think not many lower level, a lot of the mid level then less of the high level officials care

I would argue many people are initially interested in making things better, it’s just that power and lobbying have a tendency to corrupt people
