[Yesterday's post](/captive-supporters/) prompted [@fishpatrol@weirder.earth](https://weirder.earth/@fishpatrol/111960327058875673) to suggest starting the "More from Ursula Franklin" newsletter. I would hate to disappoint!
Today in *The Real World of Technology*, Franklin suggests that "the crisis of technology is actually a crisis of governance," and goes on to note that
> we have lost the *institution* of government in terms of responsibility and accountability to the people. We now have nothing but a bunch of managers, who run the country to make it safe for technology. (121)
I've been thinking about [governance](/infrastructure-and-governance) for a bit, especially in working to develop the [community-based governance processes](https://sustaining.hcommons.org/governance/) that genuinely open infrastructure requires. It's not easy, though, when so much of the technocratic culture by which we are surrounded seems intent on [corroding our solidarity](https://sustaining.hcommons.org/governance/).
