People appreciate German cars just fine, and no one seems to be particularly bothered that they are produced by workers in private sector companies instead of 'by society'. Whatever that even means.
- harimau777 1y agoI'm not sure that I understand how a consumer product like a car is similar to something done for inherent value like space exploration. When I say "by society" I mean a non-private organization like NASA.
- eru 1y agoThe space exploration is done by NASA using inputs from the private sector, like hammers or rockets. > When I say "by society" I mean a non-private organization like NASA. Is there any non-government organisation that can do any good in your opinion? What about a charitable trust? What about mostly unorganised protesters like those that moved Germany towards unification?
- harimau777 1y agoCharities can do a lot of good. When it comes to stuff like this, my only concern is whether they are able to discriminate against people. It's mainly profit oriented organizations that I don't trust.
