To turn a Nation-State into a "for-profit" for citizens will make US a weird version of Petro-State without Petroleum.

Look at Oklahoma if you want to see the US version of a petro state. If we're going to do the petro state thing anyways, might was well run an interesting social experiment instead of just enriching a few huge corporations while shuttering our schools.

The US has a technology sector that is as much, if not more, productive than a resource extraction industry. Why not use that sector to raise quality of life for citizens?
