the state of governance technology has not evolved with the advances made by industries and corporations. we need to set up civil service academies that train civil servants, regulators and administrators, funded by a special tax on corporations.

the government is dependent upon people from the industry because there is no way for the regulators or program adminstrators to gain that knowledge otherwise. .

I favor a variety of socialism that is called democratic structuralism and here's an example of how it could work.

we have too few doctors and med students have to take on huge debt in order to go through school.

we should make it easy for students not hard by subsidizing their studies. . .however, graduating students should serve for two to three years in a post, just like in the military does with ROTC scholarships at the beginning of their career, as their career advances they should be utilized as public health educators, inspectors, etc.

This would be in accordance with a single payer system.

Every industry can be structured to work for the public good in this fashion. Where we have critical needs, such as shifting from chemical/industrial agriculture models to organic sustainable models, we set up the education system, the support system and the regulatory system to make steady advances. . .

instead of the haphazard way we stumble into ruin as we do now, allowing the profiteers to do their damage and we pay the bill and get the pain. .

But this sort of conversion would take a lot of effort by citizens to move to, and Americans are not that sort of people.

Maybe the answer is puting faith in more locally active, non-governmental organizations. In Oregon there is Oregon Tilth certification, which follows strict organic, as well as sustainability guidlines for certifying small farms. They put out a fabulous magazine, and are very involved in getting people to buy locally produced produce, as well as grow their own. More organizations like this would definitely be a good thing.
