Corporations are only long lived when protected by artificial monopolies like parents, government regulations, or too big to fail bailouts. With full competition, corporations stay lean and die regularly. That is much healthier than the oli

The bigger government gets, the less freedoms the people have. It is critically important not to ask government to solve problems (government is bad at solving most problems), and to seek ways to shrink government.

And that is enormous.

As government grows larger, it becomes more powerful and more stifling of rights. This dystopian nightmare is the natural end destination for a government once it gets big enough. We need bipartisan work to shrink the government so that nei

Shrink the government or it will keep intruding on all of our rights. This should be bipartisan.

Lots of government spending is supported by the vast majority of Americans. Police, courts, fire, ambulance, and military (though size is up for debate).

The majority of Americans elected Republicans specifically based on their platform of eliminating waste and corruption like these funds that go to Harvard and directly fund anti Asian discrimination. The President is simply following throug

My money is taken from me at gunpoint by government forces I cannot resist without facing life in prison. I don't want this money going to random causes I disagree with. The government should be far smaller or we cannot have rights as

I don't want the government to fund any of that. The government should be far far smaller. The bigger the government is, the less rights you have.

Republicans won the presidency and both branches of the legislature. The people voted for their money to no longer be spent foolishly.

Harvard is free to say whatever it wants and operate without government funds. A shocking idea may be for a school to actually use the tuition paid by students to educate them. This is forced speech for all those of us who disagree with Har

I worked for a company that did this "Reputation Management" in my first job out of college around 2008. It was big at that time, and almost everything now is highly controlled, especially Reddit. I also dislike Facebook's ne

I support unions, banding together as employees to negotiate with an employer sounds fine. I disagree with forcing employees to join a union who do not want to. I disagree with forcing a business to negotiate with a union that does not want

Strange, my perspective is that I get better answers from ChatGPT on most questions than Gemini advanced 2.5.

Unions crippled themselves. Government employees unions destroyed the US government by getting the politicians in their pocket so much that no union member can be fired or held accountable in any way, and that led directly to Doge. Corporat

Yes, I agree. The consultants are certainly wasteful, but I am personally aware of many employees for the government who literally have to do nothing and are actually not allowed to do any real work. We need to clean up the waste everywhere

Fantastic! This is great news. Clean up the waste!

Totalitarian countries like China and Russia routinely arrest American visitors to use them as negotiation chips. Be careful.

Do not put your money into Pix because Brazil's government has become extremely authoritarian and anti democratic, including jailing political opponents.

Not in the USA. There a variety of random government programs that give money in ways that do not make sense. It would be better to have zero government support and have the market naturally raise prices up a bit to cover things directly. R

Hunters are happy to take all the deer that they are legally allowed to. This is the fault of poor government management of hunting. Do some actual research on wolves. They will kill a dozen cows in a day in a pen and not eat any of it.

Most of these studies are done by politically motivated people with zero connection to the real world. I have permanent electric fences all over my property and wolves and coyotes and deer easily jump over them. Unless a farmer is willing t
