I bet a guy that would shift the power to the states could please everyone. If the national government only focused on legally protecting human rights and maintaining the national army, I think it could work. The states would be responsible for funding the army as they see fit and our national taxes would only go for maintaining our human rights. not the army.
Also if we got rid of monopolies and said luxury companies can have 50% of a market, but news stations only 15%. and restricted any one person from owning over 15% of a market in stock/company affiliation, then that would diversify news.
We only reach disaster if we give up. Things will never be perfect, but they can be better. If we just all worked together we'd find a solution. There's too many of us to fail.
