This proposition is missing an actual motive. In other words, what’s comfortable about that?

We might also ask “what is ‘their own’?”

If you are proposing that the government is the organization of the elected officials, you’re wrong. A democratic government belongs to the members of the society. Many Americans don’t realize that so I’ll assume you’re one of them.

In reality, most American elected officials don’t make decisions on behalf of their electorate because they get paid more by private companies to specifically not do so, which is clearly the issue at hand.

But furthermore, if you are an American, it is your society who hired this company by proxy, and who is paying for it.

When you give these strange narratives which insult your own government, you are only insulting yourself. You are the people who let this happen.



No, I’m talking about an organization of civil servants, with layers of beuracracy and process, similar to any large organization.
