I’m gonna bite because I assume you have some retort in mind, I’m curious to hear what you mean. I just meant in my ideal world, governments would levy higher taxes on individuals and corporations, and disburse the money through state-owned programmes (for things like PEPFAR, which are well-understood and benefit from huge scale and steady funding), or state-owned grantmakers (much how like USAID operated).
(I should warn you—my ideal world assumes the political will to do this. I don’t think we live in my ideal world right now.)
