There’s gonna be so much to unfuck after this presidency ends in 100 years.
let's start by nationalizing Amazon.
No, start by nationalizing SpaceX. Then we can deliver packages REALLY FAST.
I actually want my package in one piece tho.
eh.... best I can do is dejoy delivery sometime in the next decade
I'd rather have it be cut up into a bunch of little companies.
God, no, nationalize it.
Just burn it to the ground. It's just consumerism.
But how will people get their daily dose of treats then????
why would that be better
it would allow for a more efficient and streamlined delivery service alongside better regulated sale of goods and proper quality checking and consumer protections that most people moan about the lack of, which would not be fixed just by monopoly busting
nationalizing it would keep it a monopoly, while cutting it up would cause the bits of the company to have to compete to keep each of their delivery services efficient and streamlined
consumer protections can be implemented with regulations
edit: if you wanna silently downvote me, say why
Oh, I didn't downvote you. Others did, government corporations by themselves don't act like monopolies because they do not prioritise money but instead influence and power, you wouldn't need predatory tactics to keep people using your state owned solutions and a government wouldn't employ predatory tactics to beat down on competitors, if it truly was meant only for the government then it would have private investment into the field made illegal.
It's absolutely gonna feel like a 100 years. FML....
We'd be better off rebuilding it all from scratch with an economic system that actually works for the people this time.
