It would just end badly.

2020-02-16 01:31:51 UTC  

I doubt it would

2020-02-16 01:32:02 UTC  

But yes that’s the kind of stuff I want

2020-02-16 01:32:17 UTC  

What would the government profit off of for one?

2020-02-16 01:32:30 UTC  

As much as they can

2020-02-16 01:32:40 UTC  

It would be easy on the local level

2020-02-16 01:32:44 UTC  

Be specific.

2020-02-16 01:32:59 UTC  

Have police do individual security for money

2020-02-16 01:33:09 UTC  

We have those.

2020-02-16 01:33:17 UTC  

They’re called security companies.

2020-02-16 01:33:19 UTC  

Public transits

2020-02-16 01:33:25 UTC  

Have a public one

2020-02-16 01:33:57 UTC  

We already make people pay for public transit. It would be very difficult to get any more out of it than we already do.

2020-02-16 01:34:13 UTC  

The attraction of public transit is that it is *cheap*

2020-02-16 01:36:02 UTC  

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

2020-02-16 01:36:28 UTC  

You pay in advanced with taxes so you don’t have to worry later. More or less public insurance.

2020-02-16 01:36:30 UTC  

They would fork over the cash after the fire is out

2020-02-16 01:36:57 UTC  

Keep in mind this is the end goal

2020-02-16 01:36:58 UTC  

Who’s going to make them? The private police force that will cost 100 dollars to hire?

2020-02-16 01:37:19 UTC  

It’s simply not sustainable.

2020-02-16 01:37:19 UTC  

The police will do emergency stuff

2020-02-16 01:37:39 UTC  

But no politician will get a free ride with guards

2020-02-16 01:37:59 UTC  

Or rich guy

2020-02-16 01:38:01 UTC  

So basically politicians will only be from a rich upper class instead of a poor lower class.

2020-02-16 01:38:17 UTC  

That’s going to work indefinitely and not cause class warfare.

2020-02-16 01:38:27 UTC  

To get security from police yes

2020-02-16 01:38:34 UTC  

They will have to buy it

2020-02-16 01:38:42 UTC  

The secret service will cost them

2020-02-16 01:38:46 UTC  

Yeah, so basically there won’t be any lower class politicians.

2020-02-16 01:39:00 UTC  

With massive security no

2020-02-16 01:39:07 UTC  

It will be the rich elite. That will only inflame social and economic stratification.

2020-02-16 01:39:32 UTC  

Major politicians having to pay their own security will not cause class warfare

2020-02-16 01:39:55 UTC  

It will because the only major politicians there will be are rich ones.

2020-02-16 01:40:20 UTC  

And the poor don’t like being ignored.

2020-02-16 01:40:52 UTC  

What you are proposing would be a breeding ground for communist and socialist cells.

2020-02-16 01:41:21 UTC  

That’s already the case

2020-02-16 01:41:30 UTC  

The poor would group together in a commune to provide their own security, further splitting them from mainstream government

2020-02-16 01:41:47 UTC  

This is not anywhere near as intense with a public police force.

2020-02-16 01:42:32 UTC  

It’s as simple as bread and circuses. You need to keep the working class happy.

2020-02-16 01:42:42 UTC  

Eliminating public services will not serve that end.

2020-02-16 01:43:41 UTC  

Honestly, how can you not see the result of this would be a splinter-shatter style civil war? @Joe The Communist
