Corporations suck, but it is so much easier to dodge them than it is to dodge a
corrupt government.
Example: Let's say Sony sucks and their PS5 sucks and buying PS5 products become
s problematic because their terms, conditions and pricing become abusive. You pi
ck your toys and buy your games elsewhere.
Meanwhile if you were forced by the Government to buy a subscription plan from t
he TrumpStation you would be stuck with whichever thing they decided to sell to
you. At best, you might have some money left to buy the console of your liking w
hile still paying for the TrumpStation.
As (technically) an employee in the health sector, that scenario is what happens
here and the result is pretty much that if you have the money you buy the conso
le you like, whereas if you don't you get the TrumpStation, and if somebody comp
lains private consoles have any issue they are automatically told to stop compla
ining and go back to the TrumpStation.

Yeah but in theory that entitles you to services specific to your name and you c
an leave anytime you like.
Not a fan of insurance, mind you, but Government and insurance are lightyears aw
ay from each other.
I mean, Government unemployment pensions also work as insurance policies, for ex
ample, and the idea is you pay your taxes to get some unemployment relief if you
end up jobless. Fine. Except the only time I had to lay claim on unemployment r
elief they took so long to hand it to me that I had been doing subsistence harve
sting for three months and just gotten back to a job when they started paying. I
f this had been private insurance you could have cancelled your policy, sued, sh
amed, and found recourse somehow. With a Government plan the only thing you get
is "If you don't like it, vote for the other candidate next year. By the way, th
e other candidate is the same as me. Fuck you, Arelor."
