The problem to any solution perpetuating the current system is that rich people won't allow it. And what they do allow now, they'll probably break later.
The fix is getting rid of anyone having that much power on their own.
Tolkien warned us. Nobody can carry the ring, it must be destroyed. But nobody wants to destroy it.
Except a few anar.. ehm, some hobbits.
How do you destroy power without creating a power vacuum ready to be filled by someone else?
It would be like overthrowing the government/corporates and then placing hidden snipers around the government/corporate building, shooting down anyone staying there for too long.
Agreed. It's just that at some point some of that power, whoever is wielding it, really needs to be used for solutions and ones that are outside the current norm. So far, there's been absolutely none of that from anyone to any appreciable degree.
