You basically only need government for security/army. Almost everything can be done by the private sector (yes, even roads). From that perspective Argentina is more interesting than the US. I think Milei will push this agenda further than Trump.
Except that private sector fucks over everyone. So it's not a good thing, unless you like to pay more for worse service.

Be civil
How was that not civil? They posted a picture implying I don't understand economics because I am a socialist apparently. That is allowed?
You're just trolling and attacking everyone in a conservative community. Why are you even here if you aren't conservative?
Whoa! I am not trolling or attacking. What am I not allowed to be in certain spots? sounds fascist.
Where did I say you were not allowed to be in certain spots? I'm not a mod here.
You asked why I was here when I am not a conservative. When you accused me of saying you should be banned, which I never did and saying that it sounded fascist, I was demonstrating the fallacy of your argument.
I didn't say that at all. I was wondering why you were here if you aren't conservative.

Why are you here? Weren’t you banned from lemmy?
What do you mean? I've never been banned from Lemmy. Ever.
In fact, no one can actually be "banned from Lemmy," because of the fediverse. If one were banned from an instance, they can just hop on to another instance.
it's a good thing because that means people can't actually just run around trying to get people banned just because they have different points of view.
Different admins have different outlooks. Thank goodness! :)
I've never been banned from Lemmy and I don't know anyone who has, because that can't happen. One of the reasons Lemmy is so great.

Oh, so now I'm a monk AND Barygoldewater. Ok, ok. And who else am I? I wanna hear your theories.
What instances have I been banned from? I'm not saying you are wrong, but if I have been banned from some, they must have not have been important to me because I haven't even noticed.
So what instances am I banned from and who are these admins that seem to "know" I am someone else? Because I haven't received any notifications.
And you falsely accusing me of being someone who I'm not sounds like a trolling situation to me. So what's your goal here?
What proof do you have that I am someone else? Because someone replied to you at the same time I did? What does that even mean?!
Not only that, I haven't even interacted with you much, so I don't know what your issue is.
[removed by mod]
I haven't been banned from ANY communities or instances I'm posting to. You sound obsessed about someone else, who hasn't disappeared because he still posts all over Lemmy anyway, and you think everyone is him. It's weird.
But back to the topic of the article, I'm glad the DOGE cuts are starting to take effect.

I removed your last comment because it was an ad hominem attack. I suggest moving on, none of this stuff is on topic and harassing someone across posts is not OK, irrespective of how justified you think you are.
You can debate what they say as much as you like, but don't attack the person.

If you think someone is breaking the rules, then report them. If you don't want your shit to be removed, then stop breaking the rules.
It's really not hard. We will not ban anyone because you don't like them, but I will ban you if you keep this up. You obviously don't care anyway, so go ahead.
Please stop insisting I'm him. I haven't been banned from any instances. I don't know the dude. I don't care about the dude.
If I were that guy—or any of the other people who you think who seems to be him—it seems like your efforts to chase and ban him didn’t work as intended anyway. So I don’t get why you’re so obsessed with him. Your pressing the issue so much seems to be unhealthy. I've seen you accuse other people of being him too. WTF?!
Go ahead and keep chasing him if that’s what you want. I’m not him, and I don’t care. But repeatedly harassing me and falsely accusing me of being him seems to be just trolling at this point.
I will report your behavior to admins if you keep it up and keep harrassing me.

Ahhh… so you remember me!
Dude, I don't even know you. The only thing I know about you is that for the last several days you have been falsely accusing me of being someone who I'm not.
Also, I didn't call you autistic in my comment, I said your continued harassment of me borders autistic levels of obsession.
I've edited it to be more generic in order not to offend people who may see that as a poor choice of wording.
I'm not here to offend anyone--unlike you, who called me an asshole in your earlier comment. Notice that I haven't called you any names.
I'm just posting articles to a community/community that you have said you don't care about anyway.
So if you don't like this community or this instance, and you refuse to debate the articles, why are you even here? I don't understand. I've never even talked to you until you started the weird accusations against me without provocation a few days ago.
[removed by mod]
I, and the mods, have asked you to stop with the accusations. They are baseless and false. And I will report you for harassment if you don't stop.
Last warning. Stop or I message the admin of this instance and your instance.
I choose to be, that's all. I trust there is no issue with that?
I'm not a mod here. that's up to them, not me
I wasn't asking about the mods, I was asking what you thought about that.
And I told you that I'm not the mod here. You gave me your answer. I gave you mine. Conversation is over. But at least DOGE cuts are beginning to take effect, so all good.
Yes, they are, let's see how bad it is next month. Good luck America.
Good luck America.
We've already had good luck. Trump is president. That was our good luck.
No, quite the opposite in fact. That's bad luck, trump being president is bad for America, that's why I said good luck, you will all need it.
I think he's great for America though
I'm well aware that that is what you think. I think he's about the worst thing for America

It's a loooooong on going thing. They support fascists and nazis and that's not ok.
They support fascists and nazis and that’s not ok.
I don't tho
What are you even talking about? Not only am I not Universal Monk, but Universal Monk isn't even banned from this instance or this community. He still posts here:
@UniversalMonk@sh.itjustworks.com
@UniversalMonk@hilariouschaos.com
And if I were Universal Monk, wouldn't that be proof that banning him/her didn't do anything or stop him?
Of course, that's ignoring the whole fact that he's actually not banned from here anyway, so.... lol

You do realize that many people are online right. I mean, using your scenario, you could be an alt account because you repsonded in moments of me answering you.
Many mods and administrators are fully aware of who you are.
yeah? Who do you think I am? Barry Goldwater? Or Universalmonk. Or Picard. Or Microwave. Or which one are you accusing me of today? And who are these mods and admin? Because you are the one falsely accusing me of something that you have no proof for and that I have repeatedly denied.
