The reason Americans don’t trust our institutions is because the institutions have proven themselves untrustworthy. From Congress to SCOTUS to WH to big business, institutions expected to be at least on some level responsible to the people have been exploitative and even cruel.

Which is why any solution that gives more power to these institutions isn't a solution at all.

Their power is not determined by whether or not we participate in them. In certain cases not participating only empowers them more

I'm not sure I buy into Stakeholder Capitalism but I do buy into a benevolent society that uses its money wisely to address social issues. @BilldeBlasio appointing his wife to oversea $900 million in mental health brochures is the height of incompetence.

I agree 100%. That is why I don’t understand why you would ever want to give the government more money and more control. There is absolutely nothing they do well or efficiently.

You have forgotten including the media and schools who supply brainwashed people to make up the institutions.

To the electoral process fully rigged with money in politics. Youre telling folks to continue down that dead end.

What solutions do you have to solve the problems you keep blaming people for? Do you just want the entire country to go rogue? Yes the two party system needs correction. We know the problems - what solutions do you offer?
