Besides their pipelines being miles better, they never wete that great of an alternative.

My point is that institutions like that simply should not exist. They are effectively lobbying groups (if it’s nonprofit / non-governmental organization) or propaganda machines (if established by the people in power).

Neither has any place in democracy.

We don’t need “purpose built” think tanks; we need people with actual experience, with jobs, etc. giving in their 10 cents of expertise when required.

And they should be required only when the governmening bodies are implementing things they have been actually voted in to do. We shouldn’t havr good-for-nothing “government employees” fearing to be out of job creating busywork for themselves that only perpetuates and creates layers upon layers of useless bureaucracy that nakes the average person’s lives worse.

The fact that anyone with any power (and they do have the power to influence politicians, which is more than what your average citizen has) is even suggesting this should absolutely be alarming. It is “only a suggestion” now, and then next time when the politicians vote on it it might be late.

I agree it’s a stupid hack, but there are good reasons to use public addresses in your local environment too: for example you’ll need it for any roaming device like a laptop or a phone. It also vastly simplifies certificate management where you can just use sour existing publicly valid certs to access your services.

The only proper solution would probably be ipv6, but that’s not trivial either.
