    No, probably not. But the point remains that the government can be very disorganized, underfunded, and just generally bad at running facilities. If we hand out food production off to the government then we need to take extreme measures to ensure they have adequate funding, competent leadership, and are well insulated from corruption.

      The underfunding generally causes the other problems you already listed.

      Again, what are you proposing? The status quo which is destroying the planet? More privatization?

        I’m not proposing anything. I literally said “idk man”. I’m just pointing out that “give it to the government” isn’t a one and done solution.

          That’s a bit of a lie because you keep saying “government bad” and with nothing else said that implies that the status quo that is failing life on Earth is acceptable to you, right now.

          I’m just pointing out that “give it to the government” isn’t a one and done solution.

          And if you’re proposing nothing else but “government bad” then you’re supporting the status quo, again, by implication.
