(We all feel this way, and find something we are passionate about
doing instead with our time.)
In summary, there has never been a shortage of insights and ideas
about what would make great improvements; people implementing and
maintaining them, on the other hand, have been, and are in shorter
supply.
Rants of well meant encouragement have failed to deliver change over
the past decade -- having observed it, I'd suggest going about it more
Bill's way if your goals are positive improvement, as that sets a more
vigorous atmosphere than naming what Somebody really ought to do does.
When somebody feels that way and acts on it before being demoralized
(common; mind states are precious), good things happen, though. And
that work is much appreciated by everyone.
