A "radical" idea I'm advocating for, is that all of the following is concidered nessesary for the society, and thus should be done by the government, or heavyly regulared (non profit, enduser owned type of companies):
- Roads
- Water
- Sewer
- Community heat
- Healthcare
- Education
- Pension
- Internet connectivity
- Banking (including loans for 1 family houses) and card payment
- jimbokun 10y agoYou just covered a significant fraction of all economic activity (maybe a majority). Perhaps that was your intent?
- kortex 10y agoBanking as a utility? I love it. Credit unions are already a thing, and we have the National Credit Union Association, it's a small jump to the idea of a National Credit Union. And we need single payer healthcare yesterday.
- ryanwaggoner 10y agoOff the top of my head, you're also missing electricity, food, shelter, clothing, and entertainment. Those are more necessary than some of the things you've listed here. So I guess we'll have the government own or heavily regulate 90% of the economy. Gee, that's historically worked so well in the past... :)
