SIX would be the obvious answer, flawed only in that it exists in the real world and not a “fantasy”.

ALEC works because interstate/international corporations with telco-level budgets fund the model legislation, fund the lobbying effort, and fund the post-political careers of the politicians who push through the model legislation.

Who plays the part of the telcos in your non-fantasy?

Also-- I've directly experienced the success of ALEC's part in banning muni wireless/fiber here in NC. What a similar level SIX success? Or, switching back to fantasy-land, what type of SIX success do I have to look forward to in the near future?
