I'm obsessed with the comic series Global Frequency. I remember a character mentioning about being blocked by government institutions acting like gatekeepers to where they wanted to go. He said that they'll grow their own wings, as in they'll take care of themselves instead of being enslaved by others and suffering the externalities caused by the latter's callous decisions.
In light of what's happening with the FBI and the CDC right now, with the global repercussions of this I think people need to seriously start considering to grow a pair of their own. So long as the members do not become circlejerkers I'm sure they can accomplish a lot more than the politicos would give them credit. Remember that it's in the authority figure's best interest to keep you dependent because that's his livelihood we're talking about here. A lot of them don't have skin in the game, which is why they don't even bother sometimes.
There's a lot of good in the world being done by ordinary people with skin in the game - here's one more in a line of other's I'll be talking about in future: the Delancey Street Foundation.
