And you want a bunch of politicians and bureaucrats to run something as important as dealing with the COVID crisis? They have already shown how bad they have screwed it up on all levels.
Would you really prefer for the military to be privatized? Really?
This Reagan era myth that government is inherently incompetent is pretty stale at this point. The US government won WW2 and went to the moon. Do you think the private sector would've done a better job? There are governments across the world that have demonstrated competency in a wide variety of areas. This knee jerk reaction of "government=bad" is pretty silly and doesn't make you seem more credible.
Reread what your post says. You didn't make any argument, but instead regurgitated a tired old talking point that "government=bad." You didn't make the case why government is bad or why it is inherently incapable of carrying out basic functions(even though governments across the world are effectively managing healthcare, education, and elections). If anyone is brainwashed, it's you.
