I am talking about loosening our dependance on them by introducing systems by the people for the people that would make at least the base needs of food and shelter available to people. Obviously this would be really small at scale, at least at first. You could for instance form a small community with the goal of providing shelter and food for everyone in an automated way. You wouldn't even need to declare your independence from the government or anything but just build it in parallel. If this at some point actually gets to the point where it works efficiently, it could simply be scaled up. -- Too many emails?
