- pasbesoin 14y agoThis is a simplification, but many of the same people "screaming" for resources -- and for making public resources private -- in order to "expand" their business, are actually in control of a vast sum of resources (not just "cash", but the control that that cash and ownership represent) that they refuse to use. It really becomes about risk. Despite all their advantage, they don't want to take the risk. Or, looked at another way, these are not the so-called risk takers and innovators -- the "job creators" -- they sometimes claim to be. When they do this latter, I simply experience another round of disgust over the pervasive hypocrisy -- turned into outright lying -- in today's society.
