i think government should be funded by those whose business requires coordination across broad geographical areas, and basically be specific to the market, not even government really but where the people who do the things get together and argue about what is going on and make decisions how to avoid waste and such

sorta like scientific journals and other similar forums like conferences being how scientists share and build consensus and agreements and make new cooperative projects

stuff like phillps head screwdrivers and bolt sizes and thread standards... that's the only government we need

a monopoly on anything leads to no good... it should just be a forum for each market and market segment
