Might as well wish for water to run up hill.
The government is run like a large organization because it _is_ a large organization.
To get startup-like behavior you need startup-like size.
I think this might be the best solution: a government that has to hold bake sales to raise cash would be less likely to get up in my business.
- paulhauggis 15y agoI just wish there was more accountability and less waste. There are plenty of big companies that aren't pissing away money left and right. This is why I oppose most major government programs like health care: Based on previous history, I just can't trust the government with something as important as my life.
- Drbble 15y agoIt's not clear why you would trust a private corporayion either. Government is made of people, and reflects the society it exists in. By your logic, you should be in favor of self-provided health care. (Maybe you are. Maybe that is the best way. )
- bdunbar 15y agoI am not the parent, but I'll take a swing at it. I don't trust a private corporation. When private organization acts in ways contrary to how I want, I can fire them. When the government acts in ways contrary to how I want, I have to live with it.
