Governments are good at much but there are a few things they excel at. Killing people is one of those things. You only have to look at the number of people killed in democides to see how ruthlessly efficient government are at killing people. But the government seems to be slipping as it can’t even execute a man properly:
US death row inmate Joseph Wood has died after an execution in Arizona took nearly two hours to kill him.
[…]
The execution should have taken 10 minutes, his lawyers said, but Wood, 55, gasped more than 600 times before he died.
This isn’t the first time something like this has happened in recent memory. No wonder it’s approval rating is in the shitter, it can’t even do the one job it’s supposed to be good at effectively!
