LOL, the wealthy are still fighting for big government when they get rich. They just want it to be borrowed money instead of tax funded government spending.

I understand the appeal of leading a country like you would a company but they are absolutely not the same thing. A company is an entity all about making profits for itself even at the expense of its employees while a country is essentially its people. A country can't just fire people to boost its balance sheet because at the end of the day, they still live there... and vote. I'm convinced that CEOs appointed to office are more likely to lean more towards cutting costs that *they* think are superfluous because it's the easy thing to do than actually have ideas to grow revenue other than for the companies *they* already have relationships with.

[@Andro-z2f]

Well one thing that a successful company does well is focus on efficiency. An attribute rarely coupled with the word government I’m sure you would agree. Do you know how much money NASA spends to launch a rocket into space? Compared to Space X? You are right a company exists to make a profit but do you know what the best companies invest in? It’s human capital. Superficial spending is not a trivial thing. It’s a major issue contributing to inflation. The only people who are winning in an inflationary circumstance are the rich people positioned to hedge against it.

[@jamestk656]

@Andro-z2f Taking your example, should Musk then disband NASA in favor of SpaceX since one is that much more efficient than the other? That's what you'd do at a company after all when a department underperforms yet I don't think anyone would be in favor of that. That efficiency is often at the expense of people which again, a government tends to not do often because those people vote. China can make a skyscraper cheaply in a few weeks but only because they don't have the same worker and environmental protections as other countries but they're certainly efficient.

[@Andro-z2f]

@ the only problem with this logic is that the people at Space X aren’t being exploited. At least that is my assumption. Could be wrong. But when Musk bought twitter there was a good reason for cutting so much of the employment base. Musk wouldn’t have the power to disband NASA and he wouldn’t have to. Sometimes government subsidies prop up failing businesses for the sake of the people but also at the behest of powerful interests funding lobbyists. It’s contrary to the invisible hand of the market. Look I’m not saying regulation isn’t necessary, it is, but over regulation is certainly problematic and also corruption prone. It would be better if governments stopped redundant subsidies that sustain the poor practices of inefficient ventures so that they are forced to adapt or work in better collaboration with business that are creating real value for money rather than contributing to inflation. I don’t think the comparison between Chinese efficiency and the sort of efficiency I’m talking about is fair. Whether USA is Blue or Red we are still fundamentally different to China who denounce the values of capitalism.

censoring freedom of speech still sounds very wrong in any cases, people are free to speak anything, even bad thing, because all bad or good are just contemporary, accusing the dictator used to be morally wrong. nobody, nor any group, should be given the right to decide what is eternally right or wrong. The most I can accept is age restrictions to both viewing and speaking.

I'm Australian. I'm surprised by the sense of relief I felt this morning when I woke up to hear that Trump was President again. It was a genuine sense of relief that maybe, just maybe people are starting to wake up to themselves and maybe start acting like normal people again. Even in small town Australia I've seen how our schools are failing to do their job, that our police are governmentally restricted when trying to do their jobs. That our young people are just lost and our older people are lost. I hope our 'woke' politics here are feeling not so untouchable now. Trumps win will hopefully have a rippling effect and send some sense of hope to rest of us. Thank you America, may you soon be able to stand proud again soon ❤
