I think we are going to disagree on this. Often those leaders are making the best choices for them personally, not for the country the are running. Unfortunately this is a big part of human nature so the government that is put in place has to take that into account.

A big part of being a leader is managing risks. Both internal and external. If Lisa and Frank are running a country and they aren’t actively trying to mitigate risks to their basic needs then what are they doing?
