We would make how it works
The government should a mix for for-profit and public endeavors
Governments are common investment funds for improvement of our condition.
Your plan would be like trying to make a profitable Home Owners Association.
It would just end badly.
I doubt it would
But yes that’s the kind of stuff I want
What would the government profit off of for one?
As much as they can
It would be easy on the local level
Be specific.
Have police do individual security for money
We have those.
They’re called security companies.
Public transits
Have a public one
We already make people pay for public transit. It would be very difficult to get any more out of it than we already do.
The attraction of public transit is that it is *cheap*
And the whole point of a public police force and fire department is that you don’t have to fork over 50 bucks before your burning house gets doused or your wifebeating neighbor gets arrested. @Joe The Communist
You pay in advanced with taxes so you don’t have to worry later. More or less public insurance.
Keep in mind this is the end goal
Who’s going to make them? The private police force that will cost 100 dollars to hire?
It’s simply not sustainable.
The police will do emergency stuff
But no politician will get a free ride with guards
Or rich guy
So basically politicians will only be from a rich upper class instead of a poor lower class.
That’s going to work indefinitely and not cause class warfare.
To get security from police yes
They will have to buy it
The secret service will cost them
Yeah, so basically there won’t be any lower class politicians.
With massive security no
It will be the rich elite. That will only inflame social and economic stratification.
Major politicians having to pay their own security will not cause class warfare
It will because the only major politicians there will be are rich ones.
And the poor don’t like being ignored.
What you are proposing would be a breeding ground for communist and socialist cells.
That’s already the case
The poor would group together in a commune to provide their own security, further splitting them from mainstream government
