Why We Can't Build
I suspect the most practical way to reform our institutions is through increased competition in governance, just like we &quot;fix&quot; stagnant institutions in the private sector. We already have this baked into our constitution: States rights and their ability to pass amendments. There&#x27;s a movement happening around this. [0]<p>Justice Brandeis said it best: &quot;state may, if its citizens choose, serve as a laboratory; and try novel social and economic experiments without risk to the rest of the country.&quot; [1]<p>Imagine if States could try different healthcare systems, or basic income, etc. Citizens would be able to vote with their feet and move to the best systems. This should be a bipartisan movement.<p>[0] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Convention_to_propose_amendments_to_the_United_States_Constitution" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Convention_to_propose_amendmen...</a><p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Laboratories_of_democracy" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Laboratories_of_democracy</a>
