So something like a for (ethical) profit Habitat for Humanity? I have had a similar fantasy, start companies in each of the major problem sectors that operate openly and honestly only slightly above solvency and offer quality at good prices just to drive the greedy fucks out of business, then I just stay there. I don't take advantage of the monopoly, I just live as I have been. I envision putting the actual material and labor cost of each product on the packaging in plain English. Kinda like a dietary and ingredients info table for a television. Don't put in spyware, don't put in random hidden cameras behind a screen, don't take permissions on devices so I can listen in on people. Do a bank that micro-lends at a 1% markup from the interest rates on my savings accounts. Make everything repairable and put a wiring schematic on the inside of the case if it is a large enough unit. Etc. You know, be ethical in the way I treat my employees and customers. I know, radical concept. I guess that is just the effect of having a math degree, I'm used to radical concepts.
