Comment on $3T flows through U.S. nonprofits every year

They're a structure to compensate for the lack of state power created by us burdening our instruments of government with overwhelming requirements as much as I suspect that all we did is move the location where crimes were committed. I doubt the direction to success is through burdening these successor organizations with requirements. I suspect it is through reducing the constraints upon our governments - though how one would go about that in the face of highly-organized directed interests is an unsolved problem. Certainly, no one has yet come up with a scheme where firefighters' unions cannot impose rent-seeking requirements like FARS upon the remainder of society. Perhaps I'll take the chance to make a grand proclamation or 'hot take': "America will succeed or fail in the next century depending entirely on her ability to solve rent-seeking".
