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?

Sorry man but you have a fundemental lack of knowledge here. I am not sure what you gleaned this from, or who told you this, but this is just factually incorrect.

By saying what you said, you have no idea what the regulations that small businesses are facing. If you dont know about a thing, just ask so you can learn and not spout off about how doing extra stuff protects me.

More regulation is more paperwork more expenses and more permissions/licenses, it definitely harms small business much much more. I can tell you this as a small business owner whos biggest issue is dealing with government regulations.

Regulation have nothing to do with monopolies, typically. Most regulations just make it harder for small business to do things so it benefits the big businesses.

How can I opt out of the government if its not a monopoly? Its literally the only true monopoly and its on our rights and force.

When you talk about all the money doesnt just go to the rich, there is more wealth created and you have the option to accumulate wealth or trade it to others.

Do you understand how what you are advocating for will just make everyone poorer? When you say “Nu-uh”, answer this question, for the people that work a lot of hours and work hard, what is the reason to continue to go above and beyond when our labor is being taken and given to others?

I dont like monopolies either, but what monopolies are causing you the most harm? Mine would be the governemnt monopoly.

I think you have fundamental mistake in that you seem to believe that the economy is a zero sum game but its just not how it works. The only zero sum game that I am worried about is the control of our rights with the governmnet.

What specifically is it that you want peoples lives to look like?

And you keep encompassing more things in capitalism than belong. Why not push for less regulations so that small business can thrive?

America is the least capitalist is has been probably in its history. Just because it was founded on something that was quite capitalistic doesnt mean it still is.

Why not push for less regulations so that small business can thrive?

This is how the government and government supported large corporations work. I dont even know how you think this is related to capitalism.
