I hope some day the most corrupt and restrictive people and businesses in society just leave us alone and find some other profitable thing to do.
A mafia is defined as a group of people who create a problem and then ask victims to pay for protection from that problem.
End the mafias in this world and we'll have a lot more happiness and entrepreneurship

I agree. I feel like the only way we can rid ourselves of those people is by building a system where those people cannot benefit. A challenge worth taking on, I think.

If I could live somewhere extremely rural and remote, like the deep woods of Maine, and a drone could cheaply drop me supplies every week or something, I could get a good little set up going outside of extortionary forces. But, once that technology exists, the extortionary forces will just move in to the now-inhabitable-area.
Tbh, it's much better to just make peace with it and try to avoid thinking about it unless you have so much power and influence that you can root out corruption somehow. I aint got that tho

Vote with your feet and change environment. It's never been easier, especially for people from high income countries with tech or other white collar professional skills.
What would you think would help? I personally feel like more voluntary collectives could help protect people from these things, and help make life more worth living.
What do you think?
