    If you consider real estate prices they already do charge for clean air. And any time the climate disasters get a little too difficult to ignore they can always hop on a flight to Cancún.

    To a degree, even utilities are subscriptions.

    Solar panels (and storage, for nighttime): owning your energy.
    Well + filtration: owning your water.

    Is there yet an equivalent for the internet? It’s possible to own a node on a mesh net, but there should be some way to own your access to the web.

      In an effort to answer my own question, I found this: https://startyourownisp.com/

      What if a bunch of people went in on this together, essentially a co-op but for internet access? The more people who join, the cheaper it is to run.

      IDK, maybe worth looking into. Nationalizing Spectrum and AT&T might be easier.

    They’d charge for air… Clean air is extra.

    That’d be an air filter, they charge for those.

    Air purifiers are becoming more and more necessary because of the wildfires, so it’s already started.
