    for invidiual everyday people? Probably something that involves smaller countries. I think part of the reason we have so many of these brazenly corrupt and evil administrations is because the systems are so big the temptation to go megalomaniac just trying to steer the ship is there

    , Imagine being told to vote in an election when you live in Idaho or Yukon, and that ultimatley, your vote doesn’t matter because everything gets determined by a couple of population centers (in the case of Canada) or the fate of how a couple swing states vote (USA)

    and then once they’re in power, there’s 10,000 mouths all crowing at the mother-bird for food. and only the loudest half get fed at all

    Im making weird analogies but the point is, I think we’re looking at this the wrong way. Countries, and therfor economies and Markets, were never meant to get to the size they are today, Countries Like China, America, Russia, India, they are largely unmanagable without brutal oppression , and economically, it’s herding cats.

      I think so as well, it’s so easy to hide corruption and power grabs in Kafka-esque giant machines.
