@nothings@taradinoc It's not about individuals, it's about producing the best functioning governments over time. It's not about shopping.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@cmuratori@taradinoc Colas, cars, & banks are better because they are competing for customers who make choices. State govts don't do that.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@cmuratori@nothings Not US state gov'ts. And not all bad policies have the capacity to collapse gov't anyway.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -
