Distribution, decentralization… those ideas only serve to add unnecessary complexity to a sensitive and critical infrastructure. Instead of tweeting the baby with the bathwater, let’s work toward making these institutions not rely on or be beholden to governments. Anything else is a poor man’s Band-Aid to the problem.
FWIW, I agree with your concerns, but not the proposed solutions. Regardless, these are the types of discussions we all should be having for our critical infrastructure.

I don’t see how that’s possible unless you use a system that’s resistant to governments (or moneyed interests). And the only systems like that are effectively outside their government’s power or jurisdiction. Otherwise, the right mix of ambitious or greedy people could eventually cause it to crumble.
Did you have some other kind of system or plan in mind?
