Democracy is a hot mess right now, in part because politicians are an outdated technology. What if we replaced - or at least supplemented them with -databases that tracked their constituents' values?

That's one of many juicy topics covered in this Win-Win conversation with @JustJamieJoyce . Jamie is the founder of Society Library and a leading expert on information infrastructure, and this is one of my favourite conversations thus far.

@EricTrump Let’s fix healthcare with $ETH

… so many ideas

[Micah Baylor | Community Owned Maxi @micahbayloreth]

@realDonaldTrump Hello Mister President,

I would like to propose we use NEXT GEN, I tell you they’re going to be great. Blockchain or crypto I know we love crypto, based communities who use TRANSPARENT VOTING to operate Healthcare cooperatives. They will heal America and you will look so good!

Doctors would like to practice medicine

They did not go to school for degrees in fighting Insurer greed and profiteering

[Micah Baylor | Community Owned Maxi @micahbayloreth]

If you stopped denying claims

Then all of the office administers could stop working for doctors offices

And instead run the claims at the new not awful health insurance company

Would save lots of money

The 20th century has been characterized by three things

1. Growth of democracy

2. Growth of corporate power

3. Growth of corporate propaganda as a defensive of corporate power against that democracy

Insurance should be a public good

[Micah Baylor | Community Owned Maxi @micahbayloreth]

When people see an optimistic vision of the future

They help build it

7/ BOTTOM LINE

Every year we tolerate PBMs/GPOs = $23.4B stolen from Californians’ health.

That’s $6,500/household—enough to fund a lifetime of preventive care.

It’s time to stop feeding the beast.
