When people say 'run government like a business,' they mean cut services, raise prices, and pay the CEO 400 times more than the workers.
Tim Ward ⭐🇪🇺🔶 #FBPE@godpod I've helped run both. I'm really impressed that a public body can end the year within 2% or so of many, many of its budget lines. I've never seen a private business achieve that.
JWM (Joe No Se)@godpod ...and let's not forget hiring friends and family members at company expense.
Damkina@godpod Yep. They don’t understand that our government is a service Of, By and For the population.
MakanaBoy@godpod The GOP wants gov't to run like a business. But I've never seen a business that operates purely by cutting services without making any profit (raising taxes on billionaires, infrastructure, etc.)
Mike Amundsenyes. and, strangely, these "run it like a business" folk never want to increase revenue -- just cut staff and expenses and deliver less product.
what kind of business is this?
Dany@godpod Some have a 1 to 5000 ratio. Now that is funked!
MossyRua@godpod Meanwhile, in Europe… French farmers drench the CEO with shit!
Curt Olson@godpod Sounds pretty feudal.
MikeReidPhotography@godpod ...and many who vote for this kind of thing are basically screwing themselves anyway

Don't know how many times I've told people that they don't want government to be run like a business. The C-suite sociopaths look at everything as a cost, and to them, you are a cost, not a citizen. And costs are meant to be cut.

Passwordsarehard4@godpod a business sells a good or service to generate profits for the owners. That should raise a few questions m. One of the first is what “goods or services” are we selling? A few others are who the “owners” of these free citizens are and how much do they get?
Frank Bennett 🇯🇵@godpod Also, apply profits to buy favors from … government … wait, how is this supposed to work now.

Mike_V@godpod - and running government like a business also means further privileging the already entitled. I can’t believe you forgot that, god. 😁
