So in other words, it was the government.
So it's impossible for a bridge repair company to exist? I pointed to cars and buildings because the private sector already takes care of them.
Do you not see the obvious problem? Dissatisfied taxpayers leave a city, infrastructure rots even further, city cares less because they have even less income to tax from or the people who stay behind are ok with run down facilities.
What I'm saying is with Capitalism, no such scenario exists. Ironically, no one would have to leave, it would be other companies who move in and offer better services to clean up a city when the previous company failed to.
Yet I found all my jobs on my own instead of getting help from the government. I wager for a lot of people, they too got into their jobs through networking, applying directly, or starting own. Not waiting for the government to hand them one.
They have no other choice like any other business that resides in a country. That doesn't mean it's the government that created them.
That's an interesting response. I'm going to save that for the future.
I believe in police, just not ones that are clearly owned by the government and are allowed to be corrupt. Like in my example from the above. Police guns down innocent civilian, government run court says cop is free to go or offers "paid leave".
In a scenario where police are privatized, there is incentive to keep certain areas or cities safe. They also can't just randomly gun down citizens without risk of of their services being removed or replaced by another company.
Supermarkets exist because people eat food in their every day lives. Doesn't mean we need the government to control every single one. There's no reason the same doesn't apply to every other service you believe the government is necessary for it to happen.
Offer a subscription model that includes street signs, lamps and parking spaces as apart of using the main road service.
Politicians are liars though. Just look at how Trump can change his tune everyday and gets away with it. The government only cares about itself
I've worked side by side them.
I often did more work that went beyond what my contract stated. For the government, they just had to punch in, say they were at a certain location, and then go home.
Even though said money comes from labor from the private sector who are generating the profits the government needs to do their job(or lack of)...
Don't matter if they're a democracy. Why should they be? It was in reply to what you said
"government are supposed to keep corporations in check"
China is a government and they clearly don't care. The Soviet Union as well, did tremendous damage to the environment and that was all government.
If you're going to blame corporate for not caring about the environment, governments are not innocent either. At least with corporations, we do see an incentive by them to offer eco-friendly products.
I can tell you right now, the government is directly responsible for destroying the lives of native indians. No way around it. Don't blame it on racism. The government is full of racist people who thanks to their monopolistic power, were able to subject the native people to horror with no one to oppose them.
There is no and probably wont be another system that's better than capitalism for the foreseeable future. It's not short sighed when the other option is what?
Socialism? That doesn't work.
Agrarian? Very primitive and outdated. The majority of people who enjoy their current luxuries wouldn't go back to it.
So it's my opinion when these politicians sit around doing nothing but clap and scream in Parliament, while the rest of the country continues to see little improvement but they still continue to suck my tax dollars while raising it more and more?
Okay, you are trolling. My bad.
