I am going to need you to show how "good government is good". Because I believe what you are saying is that "governments that do what I want them to do are good".

We don’t know if it was the appropriate progress because it was govt diktat. What progress was destroyed or eliminated because the resources were centrally directed? Would we have had magnet trains, hover vehicles, or some other technology we can’t even imagine, etc?We’ll never know because the private market was robbed of capital to pay for a project the government thought we needed.

So what other government projects that disproportionately impacted the black community, tearing at their culture and driving them further into poverty are you in favor of?

You know, since you’ve counted the cost and all.

Take the roads in your town or city if you need a different example.

The government baited some smooth brained rednecks into planning a plot to kidnap Whitmer and then busted them for planning a plot to kidnap Whitmer. Overall a bunch of dumbasses all around sadly some of them had badges.

Ok yea I heard about this. I didn’t know it had been resolved. It was all a setup? It’s finished now?

Sounds like another heartwarming chapter added.

I’m saying big business runs your government. But go ahead. What’re you trying to say

Yea, I meant to say big business.

To the extent the answer is big business, it proves my point.

Think about it.

No idea if it’s been dispositioned. Yes it was a real life DOJ example of Dumb and Dumber in practice.

Probably not a good example. I live in Shelby County where the government is failing. Services are drying up but tax collection remains robust. The roads are in sh!t shape (as expected) with ever increasing revenues.

It seems as if you’re saying that if the government didn’t build roads then there would be no roads.
