On the one hand, this makes sense - nobody is coming to save us, and we have to do it ourselves. Whats the best mechanism for this? Business isnt a wrong answer.
But lets be honest here - these businesses havent finished the job. We can celebrate "capitalist innovation" starting to attempt to address a problem functioning government would have had fixed a decade ago.
We need to make a choice - either quit pretending that government can only work when it is in someone's pocket, or we can become a third world country. We need to understand it as an active choice.
