The app for independent voices

Brings to mind an old slogan from my youth:

"You can't vote the bankers out"

Used by swedish "oppositionalists" who were pro more personal freedoms and against the State using the presumption of potential wrongdoing/mis-/abuse as a basis for bans et cetera.

Like this:

Me: "I can haul my trash - sorted - to the dump (the "recycling unit"...) myself in our pick-up truck once every quarter or so and I'd happily pay a fair fee to the dump of my choice. If my neighbour wants to pay someone to sort and haul their garbage, it's up to them, and I don't mind the municipality having oversight to ensure the dump(s) doesn't violate rules and regs as laid down by actual professionals in the relevant fields, not civil servants and politician's aides, re: handing and processing.

I fully appreciate that this might not be feasible in major cities and that some other solution would be needed there, but that is no reason to impose a one-size-fits-none coercive system."

The State: "Shut up and pay your taxes, the fees for collection and a fee for using the dump andshut up about using handicapped people on welfare as conscripted labour in the sorting unit and us selling the raw materials overseas via private companies owned by politicians, for profit!"

That kind of thing; I'm sure the US is rife with that species of unprintable redacted too.
