It was a compromise so the smaller states were willing to join the United States. Same reason there are two senators for each state.

Its not an ideological statement, it is a comment on the structure of the organizations and how they have to work to survive. Corporations need to do things efficiently or they disappear, the reason large companies are able to be so inefficient is that they are propped up by the government. But the big corporations still have to be more efficient than the other giant companies or their business gets taken.

When it comes to the government they can have irrational requirements and ways of doing things, and since they allegedly are beholden only to the voters (who dont have a clue what is happening) then they can be as inefficient as they want. An example that is non monetary is how the police will investigate themselves and find they did nothing wrong, they only have an incentive to protect themselves and their own people.

I think this is a seperate issue when private corporations build and own roads. I dont know enough about that sort of thing, I was more referring to how the government hires out private companies to create infrastructure instead of having government employees do it.

I used to also, and I understand the issue, but the mega corps will still be more efficient than the government. This brings up the other issue of how the government funds all the tax dollars to large corporations and also props them up with regulatory protections.

Public employees are almost always not the highest quality and tend to be overpaid, why is it bad to have private companies do the work?

This is shallow, but here it is… When you are dating to marry look at the womans mother to see what her weight will probably be like after having kids. If her parents are big, she will probably be big.

Not all, but a majority of labor people do is to make money. What reason do I have to work extra hard for if not for financial gain?

Then there would be no reason to go above and beyond.

Oh I dont know, I would just assume they could update (or retrain) to adapt pretty quickly.

AI probably was already patched 5 minutes after the article came out.

The problem is that a lot of people dont want to or cant own homes because they dont make enough. Banks literally wont lend to many people because they are a bad bet and the bank will lose money. So you are just advocating for local landlords to be replaced by faceless corporations.

A credit union is not a “community union”, its just called a credit union and is just the same thing as a bank. I also like credit unions but its the same idea.

So then the banks will own the house, how is that any better? I don t know what a community union is.

Who pays the contractors?

Who then is going to provide housing at a supply that is sufficient?

All of that is currently available but it doesnt meet the need. As far as government supplied housing, that is a disaster at best.

So then should that be true about all the other necessary things? And if people are not incentivized to do things efficiently then why would the cost not increase?

What is a better solution to the problem?

The issue is what is defined as capitalism and communism. If by capitalism you mean the most powerful countries with the best weapons and foreign policy that kills people, then I guess capitalism kills lots of people. The caveat is that if a communist governmnet ever got that same amount of power, they would kill even more people. The issue with communism is that you cant disagree with it, whereas you can be as communist as you want in a capitalist country, typically.

Thats a seperate issue, that is central banks and over regulation of the housing market. This has devalued your wages and made housing too expensive. And the sad part is BOTH of the parties support these things (if you are an american).

I will give you the long and short of it; you guys are looking at the insignificant things that account for just a small amount of the problem (cue you googling and finding an alarmist article), the big problem is that its too expensive and hard to build. The reason it is too hard to build is 99% due to what the government does. More regulations will just make it worse.
