    The industry goes bankrupt because it can’t compete with a government producer that doesn’t pay taxes, leading to a government program running without competition, paid for by deficit funding.

      If you’re a currency issuer then your government programs don’t run on any funding. They are allocated a maximum amount of new currency.

      But modern monetary theory aside, government competitors only eliminate shitty competition, not entire industries, unless those industries are themselves useless like the insurance industry.
