Digital Domination

Back in the 1780’s British social theorist Jeremy Bentham and his entrepreneur brother came up with a design for what they thought would be the perfect prison.

The world faces many overlapping crises: regional political crises from Kashmir to Venezuela; brutal wars that rage on in Afghanistan, Syria, Yemen, and Somalia; and the existential dangers of nuclear weapons, climate change, and mass extinction.

But beneath the surface of all these crises, human society faces an underlying, unresolved conflict about who or what governs our world and who must make the critical decisions about how to tackle all these problems — or whether we will tackle them at all.  The underlying crisis of legitimacy and authority that makes so many of our problems almost impossible to solve is the conflict between U.S. imperialism and the rule of law.

Imperialism means that one dominant government exercises sovereignty over other countries and people across the world, and makes critical decisions about how they are to be governed and under what kind of economic system they are to live.

Columbus voters have line-item budget appropriation powers at the ballot this May. It will be split into five separate bond issues ranging in amount from $50 million to $425 million coming to a grand total of $1.03 billion for all five. The following is a breakdown of what exactly each bond issue could, but not necessarily will fund, according to the city and county officials I have contacted, as well as other documents made public by the city. Most are straightforward things that you would expect your city budget to cover, but some are more ambitious proposals, with one being downright historic for our city.
