In fully capitalist America, the government would be the same size. It wouldn't be designed to protect people. It would be designed to protect money, contracts, & corporations. Our healthcare system already operates this way.
It would look like Victorian England with modern conveniences, no thanks.

Trump can't figure out why the Democrats aren't praising him regarding Venezuela. Well when he does something worth praising they will do so. However kidnapping a foreign leader and starting a war without authorization isn't going to get you there.

Today was the first time in decades I had Thanksgiving food for Christmas. I now remember why I don't do this. I'll be happy to be back to my regular Christmas programming next year. I need someone to remind me next year when I get the Christmas spirit and decide it's a good idea to visit family.

A former coworker once joked there was a portrait somewhere aging on my behalf. I always laughed. Recently, I looked up British actors I watched ten years ago. They’re younger than me, yet somehow now look older. Curious. I'm not laughing anymore.
