When the system is broken...

So what do you do when the system is broken? especially when you need that system to get what you need? It's like saying your cars engine is busted and you need to drive it to get it fixed. fortunately, we have tow trucks. But what is my tow truck? What then? I feel like it's trial for the murder of Julius Caesar and Cimber Brutus Casca and Cassius have been selected for the jury. "On the count of murder in the first degree, we the accused find ourselves not guilty" No kidding, really? What a shock. How does that work? How can anyone "self adjudicate"?
