Government run "anything"......

[wkmac]

The Declaration of Independence famously states that governments derive “their just powers from the consent of the governed.” But, sadly, this is almost never the case in the real world. If it is indeed true, as Abraham Lincoln famously put it, that “no man is good enough to govern another man without that other’s consent,” that principle has more radical implications than Lincoln probably intended. Few if any of those who wield government power measure up to that lofty standard.

Why real-world governments don’t have the consent of the governed – and why it matters

What would YOU like to do in North Korea?
TOS.

Drop one pound bags of rice .
Start feeding the countryside people and the gov't will fail .
At first many will not believe the good fortune falling into their laps , but over time they will .
And if the gov't troops have to spend all the time chasing down these bags of rice , who will be protecting the dear leader .

the government guarantees vacation by law (in every developed country besides america) in italy. most european countries get 4+ or more weeks paid vacation per year. the workers out there actually share in some of the benefits of living in a modern technologically developed society with record productivity. in ameirca is goes to the 0.1% or control the whole damn thing.

michael moore interviews some italians and they show how its done in the majority of developed countries. canada, america, and japan are the minorities.

If everyone took their vacations at the same time , the world would stop spinning .

teamer, this board is chocked full of misinformed posters, blaming everything on the wrong things. You continue to add yourself to that list.

Why dont you educate yourself on the Flint water disaster, find out WHO changed the water supply, 2) why the second source of water was contaminated, 3) why it was ignored by the governor, 4) and why it took the EPA too long to find the problem despite all the complaints by citizens.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flint_water_crisis

This country continues to contaminate its precious resources, like water, and yet, you dumbskulls want to blame politicians instead of the corporations who are contaminating our water supplies.

Gas Fracking, is the newest source of contamination for our underground aquafirs and natural storage cells, yet, the republicans continue to call for more of it.

People like you will support it, that is, until you are drinking poison water, then you will look for a politician to blame it on instead of yourself.
