I added some more sources to the OP, check them out!

Oh huh, I didn't see it at all. Sorry about that! It was linked from an email in Ballotpedia. I'll look for other sources.

Would you mind answering their questions here? I'm interested to see your thoughts as well.

Otherwise this is just a fluff piece distracting us with all the “good” things trump is doing and ignoring the bad.

I agree with most of your comment, but I don't think this is what the article was doing. This is more a look into the future of how we can bend our free-market capitalist economic system into a more socially-beneficial direction without jumping right to the obvious but more controversial solutions like fairer taxation and heavier regulations. IMO, a sovereign like the U.S should own and operate "public option" companies in market sectors that are either considered critical or desperately in need of competition. The company would charge a very fair price for its goods or services, and serve as a way not only to push that specific industry in a better direction (think better standards in healthcare, more environmentally responsible operation in Oil & Gas, etc.) as well as push for broader principles such as fair hiring and employment practices. I have a feeling the current administration won't be the one to accomplish these goals, however.
