If the economy is bad, and millions of brains out there, why not constructively use our brain power to help?
The situation and economy we are facing is pretty bad, hearing how bad the economy is doing, people losing jobs. We need jobs and such. The idea is that if couple of millions of us sitting at home, hundreds of thousands of us writting on ted. Why the government don't take advantage of the collective brain power, let the people to be a part of the progress for us to fix our own economy??
Just like how amazon used to pay home computer for their process power when it is on idle.... Brains are here, ideas are here, which can be turned into plans of building new business, hence more tax, more jobs.... only a structure is needed... why no organization, business or government really take advantage of this?? i really wonder

The easy answer: we should!
The complicated one: because the structure of economic power obstructs us. A good example is the misnamed law "Citizens United."
My suggestion is we put all brilliant citizen brains to amending it, so we'd be far leas obstructed. And, once done, then all our brains could focus on rebuilding the economy, pronto.
