    That’s great, have a look at what those things should cost and then look at how the government is mismanaging their funding that we give them

    Why even bother with wages, just have the corporations pay the government directly for our work. The government can figure out how to distribute everything and fuck us all

      “Should” cost. Yeah I’m gonna need citations for that one. You really and honestly believe the libertarian nonsense that private, for-profit corporations are going to provide those same high quality services and fuck us less?

      And make no mistake, those are high quality services. Corporations are perfect happy to use all the free data generated by the National Weather Service, US Geological Survey, NIH, NSF, NIST, etc precisely because it’s world class. It’s funny how the only things that people complain about the “government” doing are all the things that cost corporations money like product and environmental safety. Or social services that are deliberately inefficient so conservatives can keep complaining about how bad “government services” are. It would be a lot more efficient if they would just give poor people fucking cash.
