npub1xn0tmjn8gaspzj9m83nykqssq62v3dg7u6sf2z2gvyqapv49f6pqxfugrf (npub1xn0…ugrf) this is stated in general, of governments, but if applied to the US specifically then
>good at collecting taxes
this is troublesome to argue with because
1. it gets big numbers
2. inflation is a hell of a tax that's collected effortlessly
3. nobody really wants it to be good at this
but it wouldn't win any taxing competitions, alright?
>taking away your freedoms
most blatant case of conflating "government does this" with "government is good at this"
>killing people
here, we *do* have international "governments killing people" competitions, and the US is doing quite poorly.
Don't be a boomer. Don't say the the USG has any competencies at all.
