OCP: the future of public services

    Giving the growing irrelevance that politics, nationalism and religion etc. have on the population as a form of social cohesion, is the current form of government we have outdated?
    As it is we pay our taxes to the government to provide security and services like education, health and infrastructure, but many of these services are being privatised and outsourced and the remaining ones mismanaged by a creaking bureaucracy.

    It look like megacorporation's like Omni consumer products will eventually supersede nation states to provide all services.

    Makes perfect sense for OCP to set up here given the number of Murphy's we have.

    Its funny that Detroit isn't that far off from the Detroit pictured in Robocop at the moment.

    Public services are a necessity supplied to the population. Corporations provide products to customers. I'd prefer to maintain that distinction.
