but, doesn't it depend upon what the government's doing?
if the government is efficiently preventing mining companies from pouring cyanide into waterways, regulating large Wall Street banks and building safe and ubiquitous mass transit to replace large swarms of polluting vehicles -- is that scarier than every other scary thing?
- pc86 8y agoYou can't give it efficiency in some areas and hope it stays inefficient in others. I would rather have a government that is incapable for preventing the next major civil rights battle and let a bad corporate actor emerge every now and then, than have a government that is able to crush even the slightest populist uprising without missing a beat.
