USA operates the exact opposite of this. We use the government to do the big things that aren't/won't be profitable immediately to set things up for big business to rake in all the benefits later by building their businesses on that foundation. Of course, all those business owners "did it on their own," neverminding the fact that the ground they walk on only exists because of everyone else.
They are also too cowardly to live freely, so they end up hating actual freedom and those that enjoy it because they hate themselves for allowing their freedom to be robbed by their ideology.
The solution is so simple and painless that every American should be furious that SS is EVER used as a political football. Fuck the rich, raise the cap, from the bottom to the top.

I live in a place that could pass for MAGA Mecca and am literally surrounded on all fronts pretty much anywhere I go. It is extremely isolating.

"I started blasting" also a highly probable response.
