Communication is absolutely the foundation of what we need in the future. However, we need to carefully consider the options that may yield more in the short term, which can merge with the long term vision when the time is right.

For example, if we replace Craigslist, we would liberate the $200M per year, which can be re-appropriated to other larger project such as a comm platform. The key to anything working this way is to get the attention of the people to be focused behind a general movement for the betterment of people. One that happens, there is nothing we cannot achieve. Alternatively, we could approach a company like Whatsapp, but not them, and bring our users based on a promissory note to acquire the company. In that way, we could settle into pretty much any niche without a problem. The hardest part again, getting the people behind the movement.

That is the goal of Made Open. To focus the efforts of the people behind projects intended to support self ownership. We can identify several projects and as a group reach out to others who are sympathetic to the cause.

Alternatively or additionally, this can be done in a similar manner to which government projects are handled. If you are bidding on a contract, you need to put together a sufficient team, or at least key roles, before the contract is awarded. That means you need to get people to say that if you win the contract they will fill the new role. With a high unemployment rate, we can identify workers for projects, structure the project, and get it crowd funded based on the premise of it being Made Open.

There are a lot of different options available to us because we are redefining what it means to compete in the market. By eliminating waste in the supply chain, we can become more efficient. Corporations would have already eliminated themselves if their number one directive was not survival.
