    This is nice and all but any solution requires a government captured by capital to work against capital feels as likely to work as thoughts and prayers.

      Better than completely allowing capital to do whatever it wants without even attempting to push back.

      Yup. All of these “solutions” that sound original are known. The reason we don’t apply them isn’t because we don’t know how to solve these issues, it’s because capital has pulled the handbrake. This is the problem we have to solve. All the other problems fall downstream and will magically start getting solved if we can release the handbrake. If we’re not talking about how to reduce regulatory capture, we’re not taking about real solutions.
