    We’ve tried that. What’s prone to happen is the corporations spend money to the municipalities to deregulate. Let’s stop giving them the chance. It hasn’t worked. Let’s instead go back to treating utilities as publically beneficial

      Or they spend money to make them over regulate. Yeah. If we can’t even control local politicians now, how do you propose we do close that bit of fuckery?

            Man you really just can’t stand the idea of doing something without giving your money to venture capitalists, can you? You really think it’s better that random billionaires in Silicon Valley and Jackson Hole control your power supply?

            Americans are seriously ill, and need help.

            Having no masters would be exactly the aim. Ultimate power should lay in the hands of the people and government should only exist to serve the will of said people. I don’t fully know what that should look like but I can say for sure we’ve tested a lot of ideas that aren’t that, and that we should try some new things because what were doing now isn’t working.
