Thanks for sharing :-) I don’t know what went on here in 2016 and early 2017 beyond what I’ve heard so I like to hear others perspective on it. I’m not dogmatic. I am not against centralization in each and every circumstance, I just want to see a path towards decentralization that doesn’t look like BS or that isn’t just all words. Trusting those with massive amounts of power to relinquish power without a mechanism to ensure they do so is how communism gets it’s bad rap. We can trust those in power when they show willingness to relinquish some of their power.

Govt gets a lot of things wrong but one of the things some of them got right is the concept of a balance of power.
