Good point... --- ...about the difference between activism and public governance, once that falls below the radar in a heated debate, but it worth pointing out every now and then.

Just like the example you mentioned, we have a similar heated debate in Serbia currently experiencing the peak of the 4th wave of corona pandemic between health officials wanting to impose 24-hours covid passes and a general lockdown, and politicians who want to keep as many businesses open for the sake of economy. And I must say the latter often do come across as being too cold-hearted and pragmatic, but then again, that is their job, right?
