That is honestly probably the single dumbest things I've ever seen written on hacker news. Congrats.

  Instead of insults, perhaps you could explain what you think is wrong with it or what you disagree with. I'm not sure why this has made you angry - perhaps you've become irrationally attached to certain ideological beliefs, and my pointing them out has triggered you.

    >A business is not a government >Yes it is Some things reach a point of idiocy where no one is going to be convinced and you just need to call things what they are. And that is fucking moronic. So let's just stick with that.

      Imagine being so convinced you're correct that you call others idiots and morons, when a cursory read of the relevant wikipedia article would show that you're obviously wrong. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Government https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Government Emphasis mine: > A government is the system or group of people governing an organized community, *generally* a state. > While *all types of organizations have governance*, the term government is *often* used more specifically, to refer to the approximately 200 independent national governments and subsidiary organizations. So you are simply ignorant of the broader meaning of the term. I look forward to your apology. But do please try to interact with more humility and politeness in future, and be familiar with the very basics of a topic before debating it.
