That's completely misguided.
Consumers purchase from companies they like.
Why do you think companies are all woke and virtue signalling? Because they interpreted the vocal woke minority as the voice of the country and they want to capture that market.
Corporations will absolutely try to do go in order to maximise their profit.
And this is ignoring private charities which get more done than any government has ever done.
Collective interest is a nice concept but the government, like all large organizations, is not capable of moving in any direction.
Whatever you need done, chances are someone's cousin will get a job, the job will be done poorly and the taxpayers will pay more in taxes to fix the problem again and again and again.
A government can't fail and it's therefore inefficient.
- runarberg 4y agoYour post ignores the existence of democracies. Governments fail all the time. In a democracy failures of government will often yield a total collapse and complete replacement. If a failure is spectacular enough, these failure often come with constitutional reforms or even revolutions. In addition, democratic governments (and even many autocratic governments) have some levels of distribution of power. Your small municipal government may very well end up being absorbed into you neighboring municipality because it is more efficient. Maybe an intermediate judicial step is introduced at a county, or even country level. Governments do try, and often succeed into making your freedom and your interaction with society at large as efficient as possible, while trying to maximize your happiness. (Although I’ll admit way to often democratic governments do act in a way that maximized the profits of the wealthy class more then your happiness).
