    I’m not sure if thats required here, but it’s totally possible without asking for government permission

    Edit: i might be wrong here because of “legal speak” language barrier, but if I understand correctly you can make money from your business as a regular person just fine (legally). There’s just a limit on how much you can earn before needing yo register as a business











  • Literally living through war that tankies cheer for. With everything I managed to take with myself was a couple of hard drives and a spare clothes.

    If anything that experience would make anyone want less government and their planning.

    And what “advanced medicine and tech” are you talking about? That’s the things capitalist countries developed first (for the most part)

    You’re delusional if you want back the system that most people who lived under it hate!



  • Governments can also be sued

    My point is they don’t lose hard earned money, they just pay you money they collect forcefully from people. Basically it’s not a deterrent, but simple restitution

    As far as government accountability, that’s what elections are for.

    It’s quite rare for any candidate to talk about utilities in their campaign at all.

    People here tend to not associate govt owned corporations with the government itself. And when someone brings it up, they just make some kind of excuse about what terrible person you are for accusing such a benevolent government of incompetence when they don’t fix their stuff, and increase price 2

    And besides, chances of reelection are so slim I doubt any politician actually going for it. It’s much more profitable to simply lie about your promises

    But utilities really can’t go out of business

    They should declare bankruptcy and be sold to someone

    loss of those services would be catastrophic

    Government failed to consistently provide power — no catastrophe. Government failed to provide any water at all — no catastrophe (some people just started to pump and sell underground water)

    So why private buisness not providing just one of those services for the period before it’s bought, must result in catastrophe? (Just for time reference, the absence of water I described earlier already lasts longer than a year)
