Worldview: governments bad, companies good. Why?

Because goverments don’t have skin in the game. Business people play with their own money, so don’t want to waste anything. Besides, if they do a bad job they’ll go bankrupt, whereas government agencies just get new funding no matter how bad a job they do.

I mean, there’s some logic this line of reasoning, no doubt. But you could plead the reverse and there’s logic to that as well.

People working for government actually care about what they do, they have the public interest at heart, not just their own bankaccount. Government employees know that they’re using taxpayer money, and that they’ll be held accountable if they waste it. Business employees don’t give a shit about about their companies, particulary the very big multinational conglomerates, that we have so many of these days. Any money made only goes to the boss anyway, and he’s an asshole, or the shareholders, and so are they.

But this worldview ‘governments bad, companies good’, is certainly dominant among and rarely questioned by DOGE folks.
