gollark: In the US's internet market for example the government just throws money at the big internet companies, and actually *creates* monopolies on internet connections in some cities.
gollark: The laws of most countries are complicated enough now that nobody can actually know and understand all of them, or even the ones which directly affect them. Also, I'm responding kind of slowly because my internet service is bad right now and randomly dropping out every few minutes.
gollark: (then, not than)
gollark: It would probably be best to make a government which is actually competent, *somehow*, then have it do more things.
gollark: Look at the whole mess with COVID-19 testing in the US.
