99.9% of all institutions in my life are at best feudal orders, run by aristocrats so far removed from my life that they wouldn’t even know how to survive without their armies of servants, nannies, and assistants. Democracy needs to extend beyond the state. Democracy must be present in every part of our society, or it will, as it has now, inevitably become nothing more than another oligarchy for and by the rich.

It's too inefficient to be worker ran. Not everyone is capable of running a busines and understanding what it entails.

I think we should push for a 4 day work week standard personally. And move towards ubi.
