• 43% of Americans view socialism positively
• Positive views of big business down to 35%; capitalism steady at 55%
• Small business, free enterprise remain most popular economic concepts
Connecting systems together into a larger system often has advantages…but there are often disadvantages and risks. This is true of power grids and of national economic systems. Some thoughts:
Part of the hostility to ‘big business’ is driven by the fact that most contacts an individual has are with corporations, not government agencies, and too many of them are becoming equally or even more dysfunctional.
Going after medical, by way of Obamacare, was instrumental in this. Doctors, by and large, operated as small businesses. Small businesses have had a target on their backs for years and have suffered under the demands of having to more and more take on the burden of the corporate bureaucratic requirements by way of regualtion. Not a fit! This was on the radar screen for years and now we have a mess, as detailed in the rise and acceptance of socialism and far worse care etc etc–see Neo’s hospital post.
