> Do we have strong political will to create something like that here?
Gorgive my cynicism, but I wonder if there is any strong political will to do anything good and proper at all? The way I see it since the privatization/neoliberal wave politicians in most nations realized that there is more money for them in it if instead of one state owned entity you give things to 10 private ones, 8 of which you have ties to, 2 of which you will "work" at after your political career.
Sure, I could imagine a national state doing what is needed, just not under the current political climate when it comes to economics. There are still many people out there who believe these things need to be solved by guiding the invisible hand of the market, when everywhere you look it has made things shittier, except the bank account of the few lucky ones.
I am not saying people shouldn't be allowed to earn money. What I say that anything that isn't about extracting money from the system needs another form of incentive structure.
