    A lot of people understand how bad the government is at managing things.

    I wish more people understood how bad private companies are at managing things, just as bad or even worse than governments.

      In those cases, the market decides. Just look at Target, The Bay, Eatons etc. With all of those failures, the taxpayer wasn’t on the hook for any of it.

        I don’t care if the taxpayer was on the hook on it or not.

        My point is this narrative that governments are automatically bad at managing things and private companies are automatically good at managing things is bullshit.

        You’re clearly some sort of capitalist who thinks the free market is going to fix everything (which is definitely not true), so respectfully I’m not going to engage with this any further.
