      ok what if i agree that broad-based immiseration is the real "root cause" issue that needs to be addressed...how do we solve given tools available? (rickety, manipulable, diverse federalist republic) ... i haven't read your entire oeuvre yet, maybe some ideas buried there...

      i'll start with one i particularly like: Civilian Conservation Corps, Depression relief program from 30s. voluntary work program with explicit goal being to give immiserated people route to agency and personal strength.

      i wish i thought us solving it was a thing that happens. i like yours, but how would one get anything past the "manipulable" part of your summary there? because it's important any solution be vastly worse than any problem it could possibly solve, we have lots of people...

      floating compulsory programs; isn't one of them just going to scoop up any work you do, hollow it out and wear its skin? i'd just like to slow down some of the people trying to make it get worse faster tbh

      Ha yes. I'm at the point where I think nothing should be compulsory. It introduces a stress-point in the collective governance edifice. Whether it becomes one immediately, or in the future when the system evolves underneath the edifice and exposes it.

      so i actually would dodge my own question too, as you have. thinking we should, in addition to slowing the accelerators/meddlers, invest in improving our ability to be proactive. acknowledge our "fix it" impulses are foolish and doomed, and set about learning how to make them not

      i mean, i don't mean to be dodgy, i think your thing is a good idea if we could do it and i have things i think are good ideas, i just don't see how any of them would happen

      haha no being dodgy is sometimes right. means we were trying to solve on wrong scale, or "win" the wrong game. but, in the spirit of preparedness--bc there is possibility we will be faced in immediate term with "do something" now or perish -- I would like to know possible ideas!

      sure, why not immediately terminate federal student loan subsidies, repeal existing loans' bankruptcy immunity, and make participation in your CCC pay off federal loans at $45/hr
