Canada

Why stop there? Clean water is a convenience isn’t it? What about fire departments? That’s a convenience. People could do these things on their own. They should be rugged individualist and always take care of themselves right? Why do we need roads? People should just pave their own roads right?

I believe water is done privately, as are utilities. Roads are obviously difficult to do when managing the various tolls, and eminent domain, an issue package delivery would never run into. Fire department I think you'd run into issues with housing density, given you can just let peoples house burn down without affecting others.

But I can understand the desire I suppose, I just feel like we are subsidizing private corporations. I'd at least like a law that required it was free shipping only for Canadian companies or maybe Canadian product.

Fucking city boys. People sort out their own water all the damn time without whining.

A minimum income can do it better, with less waste on things people don't prioritize. A poor person wants better quality food, not a gym membership.
