I would disagree with your comments about finding options that have public support. Consider net neutrality. Who in the broad public outside those companies is in favor of the telecom companies extracting a toll from the content networks?

Public support is not a core part of modern governance, partially because the public does not hold politicians on either side of the aisle accountable.
