Roads, water supplies, NOAA, armed services, search & rescue, hospitals (yes, it's true, much better though not cheaper), court system, penal system, consumer protections (prior to Corporatocracy), broadband middle/last mile (yes, I've used it), policing, schools, mass transit systems (airlines excepted) ... and that's all I'm willing to think of with two pints inside and 25 words/min outside. Communally brewed ale would suck. As would almost all commodities and elective purchases.
Like managing anything social (love life, neighborhood, workplace, city, country) there is no one answer: it's always a hybrid requiring constant, tedious, collaborative attention & tweaking. In the realm governing performed by multi-multi party reps balanced by pro, lifer policy wonks. Public needs transparency and reactive recourse but also kept at arms length. When simplistic ideologues of ANY stripe make too large an inroad everything goes to shit. Same as keeping mum, dad, and older sister at bay in the 15-24 age range. 15 'til mother's death if Jewish.

I hate to say this, but as a US Army Vet...
hahahahahahaha. Sorry, you implied that we had been efficiently run.
I believe out motto was hurry up and wait. Or was it, "If you don't like that command decision, wait 5 minutes."
Non-electric pop up target with a life expectancy of 29 seconds, and survival odds being 1 out of 11. In 1997 I was using an anti-tank system that was developed around the time of my birth, and for the live fire I was selected to go first because I was not married (and the weapon was as old as I was). Now, where did I put my Blue Cord.

The Social Security System? The same system that will be bankrupt in 10 years? Other than our military our government has not ran anything well. Let's take NASA for example, We are now on track to pay the Russians to ride into space, wow go USA. The problem with our government is it's to large and to many people sucking off the taxpayer titty. Run out of money?..No problem..let's raise taxes on all those evil people that employee the majority of American's...Thats the plan. Disgust | |
