I can't wait for the future where we're paying subscription fees for a thousand separate essential services and the libertarians start suggestinf thet there should just be a service that provides a single source for paying and managing all of tjose subscriptions.
Honestly, we’re at a point technologically where we should be able to digitally vote for what, at least a portion of, our tax dollars pay for.
It’s not a bad idea, but we don’t need to deregulate everything first to do that.
Yeah imagine a government you design collectively and then opt into. Sounds horrible.
Imagine your essential services are all run for profit, by entities with the goal of maximizing profits and minimizing service.
I live in the USA. You're describing life in the USA.
You're living during a time when literally the largest collaboration of human effort to ever exist (the internet) was free, but is inexorably being enshittified purely by profit motive, and you're advocating for more things to be driven by profit motive.
The test is easy, if it's trivial to contrive a situation where a profit driven design leads to the opposite of the required situation, then that service shouldn't be profit driven
For profit fire fighters! Response times go up because there are a lot of firefighters now! Your house burns because you have bad credit or couldn't pay your bill. A firefighter may have set that fire to drive more business. conclusion: Fire fighting should NOT be profit driven.
No like the fire brigade in Discworld: If you don't pay them, they set your house on fire!
That's how countries were formed, yes. So?
