> You mean like water? ... I believe we're the only 'developed' country in the world to have sold off / privatised it's water.

Wasn’t it both England and Wales?

Yes that’s exactly what I mean.

I’m working on stuff that I can’t say too much about. But let’s just say there is a way out from this - but it will require the smartest minds and folks starving for change to come together and create the change we want. Sometimes an environment that creates a desperate need for change can be a good thing.

It’s not going to happen via politics. It has to come by being creative from the outside in.

I’m not very confident in the strategy of immiserating most people to drive positive change. This has been a Communist talking point for a century and a half that has yet to produce positive results, despite many attempts.

I am pleased to read someone is taking some initiative.

I don’t believe in the communism vs capitalist debate. The latter has furthered progress so clearly there are benefits to be had. But yet the dream of the former continues on.

Someone who is more open to a “take the best of what exists” is what is needed.

Appreciate the positive sentiment.

Let me guess, its a new Web Framework isn't it? :P
