The methods we’ve been using are NOT working lol.. like.. don’t know what else to tell ya, look around. Both at the municipal level and federal level we are living this liberal nightmare turning the city and country into this lawless shit hole. We have politicians saying our healthcare system is in shambles and people can’t access basic care but we can dump 600 billion dollars into Covid and not blink?
...
It’s getting to be insane. Can we please just have some rational leadership?

I don't think what you're saying is a case of gov't VS business but a case of the quality of either. There are good governments and there are good businesses just as there are bad ones for both.
I look at Alberta vs Norway as a classic example - both had massive oil riches and one government thought long term and built a trillion dollar pension fund that ensures the future of their society while the other frittered it away and today can barely balance the budget. One is a case of good/great government, the other is now led by an anti-vaxxer who blames Ukraine for Russia invading it.
OTOH, we just watched the UK PM resign after 6 weeks out of incompetence which was preceded by one of the more corrupt and incompetent gov't (Boris Johnson) in UK's history. The UK's current predicament is the result of one man, David Cameron, who in trying to keep his job as Conservative leader offered to run a referendum on EU membership despite knowing full well that was a TERRIBLE thing to do.
I could also name you numerous businesses which have been run horribly - WeWork is a good example - but I could also name you businesses that have been run great.
