Boo-hooo! I can't enrich myself at the expense of the public because the big bad government and its regulations don't let me.

A MAGA Trump supporter was left speechless after we dispelled small government big corporation crap.

A MAGA Trump supporter called to dispute our support for a government big enough that no corporation could attain supremacy. He was left speechless and decided to reevaluate his position.

"The first step may be to finally recognize that “running government like a business” has always been a red herring. The government is not a business — it is the thing that makes business possible. Unregulated markets frequently fail to produce good businesses so long as we define “good” as beneficial to their customers. And unregulated businesses, as we’ve recently been forced to witness, are even worse at producing good government. As the economist Mariana Mazzucato has long argued, the libertarian CEO types now running Washington are willfully ignorant of just how dependent their industries are on the backbone of public services like roads, telecoms, courts and publicly-funded research — services they have enjoyed largely for free since financial liberalization and business tax cuts have allowed them to shelter the vast majority of their profits.

Step two is much harder: articulating some positive idea of an activist government in the marketplace. For Doctorow, as for many others, this begins with “a very aggressive antitrust agenda” aimed at breaking up the monopolies that have become powerful enough to capture — and try to replace — the federal government under Trump. “You cannot have a referee who is weaker than the players on the field,” he told me.

“Anti-government nihilism cannot be countered without a defense of the government’s role in daily life.”

But there are other, more constructive roles the government could play. Doctorow suggested a federal jobs guarantee that would put a meaningful floor on the value of labor. Or a database of publicly funded, patent-free research, which would compel corporations to support interoperability — what Mazzucato has called, in the context of AI, a “decentralized innovation ecosystem that serves the public good.”"

> ... shrinking big government is not really the point. The oligarchs require a government with tremendous new powers so that they can bypass the will of the people. This, as MacLean points out, requires greatly expanding police powers “to control the resultant popular anger.”

If people support big government, they shouldn't be surprised that some want to turn taxpayer money into their own and succeed in doing so.

It's bizarre that young dude-bro Republicans are upset about chemicals in our food. They say food in the EU is much better, prepared using different recipes, with less additives.

If being #ProLife was really about the lives of #children, its supporters would also want the government to cover all the costs of birthing and raising all the kids that #BigGovernment forces to be born to parents who can't afford them.

#Democrats are known for " #biggovernment " telling you what to do. No they are mostly big government telling corporations not to screw you over and let you do what you want to do. Cities HAVE to have have tell you what you can and can't do because you live on top of a bunch of other people so your actions have impacts on many other people. Many times there are rural regulations also there to tell you no so you don't impact others. The #GOP uses that to tell them that the #Dems are telling YOU what to do. Elect us and we will give you more #freedom and stop the #government from telling you what to do an many fell for it. Just like with tax cuts, they will throw the average voter a bone here and there and give the biggest slice of freedom and liberty to the corporations to screw you over as many ways as possible.
