Who decides what is beneficial for me in your opinion, me, you or the government?
- syops 5y agoSometimes government, sometimes the individual. It’s a balancing act. My neighbor might think it’s in his best interest to dump toxic waste on his property because he needs/wants money. In this case, thankfully, government is there to look out for the benefit of society as a whole.
