Maybe people shouldn't believe everything they see online, and learn how to research the candidate/incumbent themselves.
Any time I get a political ad, I read at least 3 sites (as diverse as possible) and average the overall "facts" that the sites say. Maybe candidates could switch from only bad-mouthing other candidates to the candidate just saying what they're campaigning on.
I know you're saying this with the best of intentions, and I'm sure you're surrounded by capable, at least moderatly intelligent people because people tend to surround themselves with people like themselves. But most people are not like this. Seriously thinking this is a reasonable solution paints you as painfully naive.

The incentive that caused this was the ability for originators to easily sell loans, and the demand for such loans of nearly any quality by the aftermarket as packaged loan tranches were making good money. It's basic market dynamics once you understand the change the precipitated it.

And by the way: boomers pretty much built most of what is today the internet.
I'm not sure that's a good thing. Look what it's turned into.
In any case, the "boomers bad!" thing being repeated is just more sheep behavior. The real problem are a subset of conservative boomers. The smalles part of that group have found themselves in power and are smart and capable, yet cruel. The largest part of that cadre are idiots who are easily manipulated to vote against their own self interests if it just means someone will pay attention to them in any way, even if the only way to do that is by hurting others. Many of them were successful in life, retired and now can't understand why nobody will liten to them or care about what they have to say and they don't know how to handle that. Manmy more were never successful and are just bitter old losers who's family have cut off because they aren't worth dealing with anymore.
