    That’s arguably the single most fundamental job of the government, yes.

    The fucking romans had this figured out god damn.

      I disagree 100%. It’s the governments job to provide a safe environment to be individually free to be successful.

      And “bread and circuses” what’s a reference to a distracted demos

        you… do realize you’re just straight up saying that people should die, right? like there are people who need free food to not starve to death.

            It’s actively more efficient to just give free food to everyone, qualifying it just adds administrative overhead and gives space for already at-risk people to fall through the cracks because holy shit guess what, they don’t tend to have the time or energy to spend on filling in 500 pages of paperwork to apply for welfare!

            Yes, fucking give billionaires potatoes, i think society can survive that terrible terrible expense.

              Hang on. Are you saying government bureaucracies are inefficient and wasteful. You need to be careful expressing opinions like that round here you’ll get down voted.
