Large corporations and oligarchs are better? I’ll take the government. At least we can vote on them.
I think co-ops are the way to go, but I can understand that someone "just" wanting to purchase the good/service might not see the difference between a co-op and corporation like Amazon.
I don't think it's a size issue really, but co-ops generally stay smaller in part due to how they are internally organized compared to a "median" corporation.
I also think that the government actually does a pretty good job at managing things; it's just their failures are public. Private boondoggles might drive many people into bankruptcy, but they aren't publicized any more than absolutely necessary.
We could really use an Open Source app that partners with and displays all kinds of websites/stores to buy stuff and pay from the app
Oh, don't worry, open source (or, worse, Free Software) apps won't be allowed on Android or Apple devices, soon. /s
It would be a more meaningful discussion if the government wasn't controlled so much by large corporations and oligarchs.
Sorry but this is a ridiculous argument. What entity has dropped nukes on an entire population? Who is the current president of the US? Insane take.
Do you literally hear yourself? You think large corporate and oligarchs run insurance, tech, etc., is a better route than a public option? 💀 Jeff Bezos, Musk, Thiel, and Ellison for everything?
An idiot bought by corporations.
Oil companies are private. Wars are started for oil.
Also government distrust and heavy focus on its inefficiencies is a tried and true right wing/authoritarian tactic. The public gobble it up because they dont take 6 seconds to actually think.
This is literally just a US skill issue, and just so you're aware, folks in the rest of the world do exist on the internet.
What are you actually arguing with the president thing? I literally don't understand how that's supposed to support your point.
