Can we do that without any masters? Do we really have to choose one?

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.

I absolutely can.

Venture capitalists shouldn't exist. Our laws shouldn't insulate people from liability.

How do you suggest we run our utilities without private firms nor government firms?

What's the difference between private and government?

We want voluntary associations, yea? So we work with/in our communities. We can choose larger or smaller municipalities or companies, but we don't violate the local, voluntary bits.

Welp... In case you don't actually know, a lot....

Right. Our local governments. Government organizations.

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.
