You may feel sending emails or letters to Governments or other agencies a waste of time, but it is a way of doing something and it is a way of exerting collective, non violent pressure.
I'm not sure whether pressure increases or reduces the problem. Some people get more defensive when you apply pressure.

Chaos can easily manifest itself in a regime change.

Talking about this in terms of “bad news” or “bad judgment by business leaders” seems archaic. It’s like describing World War One as “a serious diplomatic concern.”
