Unironically, I legitimately expect Amazon would provide better social services than the government. Having dealt with a lifetime of various governmental entities, I struggle to think of a time I was actually satisfied and impressed with how they handled whatever, unlike Amazon, who continuously impresses me and quickly fixes mistakes.


Speed is one of the selling points of dictatorship.

Companies (except worker-owned cooperatives) are hierarchical and completely undemocratic, by design.

They are also focused exclusively on maximizing profit, not providing social services.

Replace democratic institutions with billionaire-owned companies and we just reinvented feudalism.


And when they do it badly, you can vote the CEO out. How democratic.
