I know it's cliche, but Littlefinger from Game of Thrones said it best that "chaos isn't a pit, chaos is a ladder". Wherever there's a problem, there's someone who can profit from solving it, or at least appearing to do so.

The reality is that if it wasn't for the interference of people at the top who are the ones chiefly to profit from the calamities we face, almost none of them would exist, and this country would be a largely peaceful and prosperous one.
