Okay, let's discuss #bitcoin mining pools, how are we okay with 3 pools having roughly 70% of blocks mined? Any suggestions on a fix for this or are we okay with this?

I think only the Brains pool has it deployed right now. It’s still early in development.

We are ok with this because pools are not miners. Miners are individuals and can leave a pool and join the next one in the blink of an eye. Pool owners have no power. If they fuck up miners will be flocking to the next one and don't shed a tear
