<p><font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif">What if Trump's goons
had taken over the capitol hill? What if the insurrection was
successful? I cannot keep suggesting models for every
calamitous situation of a full institutional collapse. There
are some working models at the global level, and we should go by
them and improve them. What if governments withdraw from global
gov responsibility? Who will govern the world then? Every
what-if question cannot be answered. <br>

<p><font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif">Yes they have
geopolitical interests, as UN senators have extremely partisan
and special-interest proclivities, but end up passing a public
budget for the whole of the US. There are problems with all
political models .. Some efforts and struggles are on to improve
principles and ways of funding public institutions at global
levels too - like trying to improve committed funding from
members in a single untied pool and conduct policy functions
from that pool -- which mostly remains the case . We need to
further improve these models rather then quote their admitted
shortcomings for moving further backwards ... <br>

<p><font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif">I have asked you --
suggest this for public policy functions in the US and OECD, and
you will know where you stand, and how ridiculous such a
'diversified private funding' model for public policy functions
really is .... No, bad influence cannot be mitigated, just like,
to give an extreme example -- if men were to rule over women, a
problem which is only to be mitigated by getting a very diverse
set of men ... All the diversified membership for instance of
the International Chambers of Commerce still leads to very
lopsided 'profit over people' positions coming from the ICC ...
