Real capitalism has never been tried!

Real capitalism would require:

  • Flameout Professional Fire Services (i.e. no publicly funded fire department)
  • Johnny’s Good Eats Certification (i.e. no FDA testing to keep food safe)
  • SuperStonk Seal of Approval (i.e. no SEC regulating private companies, just for-profit companies doing that job)
  • Rodney’s Roads and Trails (i.e. all roads are private, you need a payment plan to use them)
  • Policing by Pinkertons (i.e. all policing is private and for-profit)
  • Job Insurance, LLC (you pay for private job insurance when you have a job, you hope for benefits if you lose it)
  • 401(k), or starve (you didn’t contribute to your 401(k), that’s too bad)
  • Only private health insurance, no medicare, no medicaid, no Obamacare, no CHIPs, etc.

You could still have a military, but injured soldiers would be treated by private MASH units, soldiers would be fed by Taco Bell (paid for out of pocket), on base housing would be contracted out to AirBnB, aircraft maintenance would be contracted out to Boeing, and of course Veteran’s Affairs wouldn’t exist.

Basically the fascist Chile of the Chicago Boys’ and Pinochet’s wet dreams.
