> do direct deposits to many millions of people, every time there's new settlements paid

I wish I could easily donate my tiny settlements to a good cause. It might make it worth the time to register for the class.

Probably impossible, but create a slush fund where companies that behave badly are forced to pay into so we can do things like fix roads and build housing.

We could also design some kind of electoral process for picking those in charge of defining the rules and creating yet more bodies to enforce it.

Maybe this time we can come up with a better way to disincentivize corruption and bribery.

The idea of fines as a revenue stream has never sat well with me. Fines are meant to be a disincentive. The ideal collection amount is zero. Treating them as a revenue stream creates a perverse incentive to enforce the penalty without disincentivizing the behavior.

I'd donate a bit to make this a reality if someone had a chance at pulling such a service off.
