- mrangle 2y agoThere is no such conscious entity as "the US government". Said entity is a legal vehicle. It can't consciously seek to profit, nor does it care whether or not it profits. However, the point of legal vehicles is to benefit people. My point is that I disagree with the characterization that the primary benefit is "for the people".
