This isn’t remotely true. Have you been to a country that doesn’t have a competent bureaucracy? There are no roads, no economic data for business to plan. The list goes on and on. The sheer volume of goods and services we each rely on and benefit from working flawlessly in the background without ever realizing is staggering when you stop to think about it. Go travel to a country that doesn’t have the cdc, the federal reserve etc, and tell me how easy it is to do business and build a life.
