Its not an ideological statement, it is a comment on the structure of the organizations and how they have to work to survive. Corporations need to do things efficiently or they disappear, the reason large companies are able to be so inefficient is that they are propped up by the government. But the big corporations still have to be more efficient than the other giant companies or their business gets taken.

When it comes to the government they can have irrational requirements and ways of doing things, and since they allegedly are beholden only to the voters (who dont have a clue what is happening) then they can be as inefficient as they want. An example that is non monetary is how the police will investigate themselves and find they did nothing wrong, they only have an incentive to protect themselves and their own people.

I used to also, and I understand the issue, but the mega corps will still be more efficient than the government. This brings up the other issue of how the government funds all the tax dollars to large corporations and also props them up with regulatory protections.

Public employees are almost always not the highest quality and tend to be overpaid, why is it bad to have private companies do the work?

Oh I dont know, I would just assume they could update (or retrain) to adapt pretty quickly.

AI probably was already patched 5 minutes after the article came out.

He is old and he had rough weekend, seems pretty expected. Seems quite irrelevant relative to everything else.

Can you give me an example of “it finds services and then chokes out competition until the system is ineffient” that doesnt include heavy government intervention?

Healthcare is one of the most highly regulated industries in existence, I understand why you guys go to it, but its hard to parse out what is what and how cheaply it could be done by truly free market organizations.

The government’s “structural nature” doesn’t mean much, every company is structured and just as inefficient.

This is objectively false. The issue is the government has no reason to be efficient, so it is not. What you are probably seeing is huge companies that are exteremly ineffeicent because they are propped up by government money and regulations. And I fully understand anecdotes, but its not anecdotes, its how the government works. The government organization can say “we will pay 2x or more for the same product because we want certain specs that are unnecessary”. Private organizations cant do this or their competitors will take their business. You can allude to data or “scientific conclusions” that pretends this isnt real, but I can guarantee you its propaganda. If its not then point to one thing the government does cheaper than private businesses in a minorly regulated field. Since I can point to many where private businesses objectively do better, you should be able to point to one.

I understand what you are saying, but it is a fact that beyond basic safety and infrastructure, higher taxes equals less growth. Trickle down is not a thing and was never a thing, it was a propaganda term used to attack lower taxes. You can believe that we should have taxes for a variety of things (and I would agree) but the government just makes this less efficient by its strucutral nature.

The reason I am getting downvotes is because this place is full of people that are tribal and get mad when you disagree. I feel like I have a pretty good basis of knowledge for this; I worked for the government, I worked as a company that worked with the government, and now I am forced to follow their rules which literally makes my whole town worse and poorer.

I would disagree with this in that the rich and businesses dont just keep the money in a scrooge mcduck vault, they put it into a variety of things that is not direct consumption spending but is spending. I think there are too many variable to confidently say what would happen, but I dont think its a significant difference when it comes to inflation.

I am in favor of less taxes for everyone and thus less spending in the government. This goes to the idea of “trickle down” economics, which on a side note was never an actual thing. Less taxes are better on every level, but the question should be how much do we need for a functioning society.

I understand what you are saying, but it just reallocates the money to different organizations. I would say that tax cuts could be tending to more deflationary because it allows people to be more productive and create more products. Although I think it gets nuanced with how this all relates to the debt and bonds, but I would guess its all a wash with regards to inflation.

And I appreciate that you are not just another angry person that just wants to yell about trump and how me disagreeing with “experts” makes me a MAGA.

You dont want a conversation, you just want to yell at the wind. But I am just telling you the fact that cutting taxes doesnt slow the economy or fuel inflation. The “experts” claim things, and its up to us to refute those claims. If you wish to yell about how trump kicked you puppy I dont give a shit.

Cutting taxes doesnt slow the economy or fuel inflation.

If it actually does entail owning and viewing porn then the quote should match the claim. The document is like 1000 pages, if its in there then it needs to be quoted in the graphic.

Thats what I have been trying to say, but everyone is freaking the fuck out. Literally its the most obvious statement if people just think about it for a second.

If you dont understand what I am saying then dont spend half an hour writing a comment, just ask me instead.

The US has direct democracies in many ways also, but there are overall protections from the constitution.

Of course this is all surface level, its like under 100 words.

When the state started to get looted has been a long time, maybe since we got off the gold standard for good in 1971(?) or perhaps when the non elected officials started to run things and kill people. “AGAIN WITH YOUR CLAIMS!!!” Yeah I get it, there is a lot here and if you are interested there are lots of people that go into depth on each of these subjects.

You are asking me to write a book long response in a post. I am just advocating for what america had before the system got looted.

Sure you can have bad monarchies, but its much more likely you will have bad pure democracies.
