Big government has never worked well, ever. The ultimate big government is communism, it fails every time it is tried.
Looks like we will get to see how hard totalitarianism coupled with constant digital monitoring and the enforcement of the smallest of decrees works this time.
When even the smallest of towns have heavily armed SWAT teams ready to assault their own citizenry, we are a pretty far cry from any semblance of a free America we once enjoyed and squandered.
Trying to overcome that kind of pervasive force will be a pretty monumental undertaking that I am not sure I see any particular will to do.
In the Industrial Age there was MUCH LESS GOVERNMENT!!!
And THAT is the ONLY REASON it “worked better”!!!!
True enough, but you don't go all the way. Big "Anything" does not, nor never has, worked well.
Big "Anything" is, by nature, inherently inefficient, and likely corrupt to boot. These detriments are a function of its size, and can never be addressed in a timely or efficient manner by a small cadre of "elite" overseeing any vast enterprise.
It is just impossible...
