Elite people/institutions we haven't held accountable for major errors since 2001:
1) Bush/Cheney (missed 9/11, then over-reacted to it)
2) The Pentagon (never looked in the mirror)

6) Corporations (off-shoring jobs, pollution)
7) Right-wing media outlets (mass disinformation, context omission)
8) Hillary Clinton (Benghazi & political careerism)
9) Police union bosses and academy trainers (cops killing unarmed suspects for decades)
10) Mark Zuckerberg (social media & disinformation)
11) Donald J Trump & cronies (obvious)
12) the entire GOP (obvious)
This trend of not holding responsible leaders accountable for bad decisions that affected many started a long time ago, and I don't see it going away anytime soon, mostly because bootlickers on either side of the isle keep circling the wagons to protect these people. If you don't end dynasties and concentrations of power--public OR private--expect more of the same until society fully breaks. Our leaders have been failing us for two decades and we refuse to do anything about it other than suffer their ignorance for another generation or so. Good luck folks!
