I think 'business' in second sentence means business its competing with( ISP) not business in general.
But in general it discourages any business by signaling that govt might swoop in and kill your business that you build over decades by starting it own that isnt' bound by the same pressures of market.
- JKCalhoun 5y agoI seriously doubt there are very many (any?) entrepreneurs worried about that. Government is going to swoop in and provide free nail care. Government is going to swoop in and provide free Mexican food. Government is going to swoop in and paint homes for free. Etc.
- 8note 5y agoIf I'm to believe the free market folks it won't be very good nail care, so nobody will use it. I'm all for having strategic nail care. I'd grab some free nail care, and if it's any good, I'd be a customer of paid nail care
