You are overlooking a simple fact: Rich dont want to pay taxes.

You will always have problems when taking from the rich. 800 years ago It was barron rebellion (Magna Carta). Now its army of lawyers and gutted IRS. IMO War between taxman and rich is not entirely off table in future.

Call it DNSSEC or whatever, DNS needs more crypto. At present security of DNS rely on manual intervention, 2FA, "multi-perspective DNS lookups" and other rituals. That does not scale to 250M domains. Expect more hijacks until then.

DNSSEC+DANE replaces registrars. The entity would push signed request directly to tld.

Or who would lose from DNSSEC getting adopted ? CAs.

This is a fight for cert revenue: CAs vs ICANN.

Its not like Corporations can pay someone else, say US or China, to protect their assets and people. US totally wont fk EUs shit up for few hundreds of billions. No sir, countries can seize and kidnap without consequences, because muh sovereignty.

Case in point: 2018 Federal taxes centralized $3.4T in the hands of 300 people.

Which gov gets the money and why ?

> Alternatively, they introduce an involatile shared fiction into the public conscious, that justifies their position

Like democracy=good, populism=bad ?

How does a democracy (or any governance system backed by public will) survive if there is a 50/50 split in public will ?

We do not consume energy. We consume goods and services which require energy to produce. This model completely ignores past and future advancments in energy efficieny.

Businesses did not make buildings safer just because someone told them to. It is naturally considered a bad idea to kill your customers. Businesses would always create an environment that generate more profit. Safer establishments are one of many ways. Businesses would _always_ stay ahead of any bureaucratic recommendations/requirements, because they have the incentives. Rather misguided/outdated laws are real problems, because gov lacks the (strong enough) incentive.

> The cost of low-trust in a modern economy is huge.

So you dont trust anyone unless gov tells you to ?
