    Ideally, supervision over most non critical sectors would fall to randomly drafted, single term committees of the people, think jury duty except better compensated and obviously with bureaucratic resources available to enable these committees to fulfil their role adequately.

    Now this isn’t suited for everything, but in either system any true oversight is done by the people, not the state.

      Half of America wants to vote for trump and you want to trust in random people? That seems like a wild leap of faith.

        It’s more like 30% and that’s with Americans being some of the most wildly mis-educated people out there. I’m sick of seeing sortition shit, but sicker still of misanthropy.

          Okay, would you rather the Germans who voted AFD? Or the rise of the French National Party? Or Fidesz in Hungary? Or PPV in Denmark?

              Afd just won a third of the vote.

              You would like control of some industry ti maybe just go the far right?

        Around 30% tops but more importantly what do those trump supporters want? The exact same things you do, they just believe different causes for the problems we all see and thus have wildly different solutions.

        You already trust these people today. They run/own many large corporations today which dramatically affect our lives in multitude of ways. Except today we can’t get remove them from these positions of power under the current system.

        It’s thanks to this in part that your aunt keeps indulging her imaginary pain when she thinks about your lifestyle.
