    I don’t want a soft landing. I want it to crash and burn so hard that the very idea of preserving any part of it is anathema. I want all the corrupt power structures that ruined us to be actively eliminated. Leave the failed experiment where it belongs. In the history books. Learn the lessons of its fall. Make something better. Which is an exceptionally low bar.

    It really isn’t hard. Put the welfare of the mass of the people first and foremost. “Mass” meaning the whole. All the people. Otherwise what’s the point of a government at all? Don’t recreate a society of slaves that serves a tiny fraction of a tiny fraction of the most wealthy parasites. Value human life beyond its utility to an oligarchy. Set a floor on standard of life. A base level that people can’t fall below and can build off of. Or not. If they want to just live their life let them.
