Lol, am I? Ok I'll ignore the ad hominem and simply ask again for an example of something you'd rather buy from the government than the free market?

New car? New phone? Clothes? Meal at a restaurant? The only thing that comes remotely close is the mail. And let's face it, important things go via UPS, FedEx, and now more and more by Amazon delivery truck.

> Working for the Government is somewhat more stable, you don't have rank and file or any other needless churn and squeezing for profit.

Of course not, because they don't _need_ to make a profit... they're predatory. If they don't make a profit they demand capital from you anyway at the point of a gun. The only reason people get fired is due to politics.

History has proven this time and time again. It's difficult, but try to be objective.

Give a single good example of what you'd rather buy from the government?

Just for clarification, competing isn't preferred because it's easier... IDK if it is or not. Competing, however, does not conflict with my ethics.

IOW, if the government deputized me to carry a gun and go around demanding people buy things from me or do as I instructed, I would decline.

When "starve the beast" wasn't killing government fast enough, they pivoted to "we need to make sure it's incompetent, corrupt, and distrusted one way or another."
