    Oh I get all that, but it is boiled down to a power dynamic over fear which really isn’t representative of what is going on. This adversarial view of the world probably prevents people from actual working together towards solutions. This is what I mean by cooked

    Your example of a private enterprise and a union does not jive well with a government that is run by fellow citizens with the goal of serving their community.

    Considering a lot of the anti-government propaganda comes private enterprise kind of leaves a bad taste in my mouth. One of the biggest issues we face is regulatory capture. Business likes to control the government and then blame them for the problems they are creating.

    Fear is simply the wrong way to frame this and I believe supports a bunch of unhealthy thinking that is counterproductive to solving our problems.
