A lot of people want local state government to be in power when they are not in charge of the federal government.
Once they gain control of the federal government, they mock state power and want as much concentration over them as possible.
This is why I don’t view politics as likely to fix things.
My main hopes are 1) technology and 2) bottom-up culture.
The printing press changed things forever. And then the telegraph did the same centuries later. And the discovery and usage of oil. The internal combustion engine. Electricity. Radio. The internet. Bitcoin.
Tech can spread everywhere and permanently, while policies focuses on a specific location and temporarily.
