I think co-ops are the way to go, but I can understand that someone “just” wanting to purchase the good/service might not see the difference between a co-op and corporation like Amazon.
I don’t think it’s a size issue really, but co-ops generally stay smaller in part due to how they are internally organized compared to a “median” corporation.
I also think that the government actually does a pretty good job at managing things; it’s just their failures are public. Private boondoggles might drive many people into bankruptcy, but they aren’t publicized any more than absolutely necessary.
Do you literally hear yourself? You think large corporate and oligarchs run insurance, tech, etc., is a better route than a public option? 💀 Jeff Bezos, Musk, Thiel, and Ellison for everything?
God no, not the government!
They couldn’t organise a paper bag party
Large corporations and oligarchs are better? I’ll take the government. At least we can vote on them.

It would be a more meaningful discussion if the government wasn’t controlled so much by large corporations and oligarchs.
Government is also the entity that will be prosecuting/persecuting you when they don’t like what you have to say.
Sorry but this is a ridiculous argument. What entity has dropped nukes on an entire population? Who is the current president of the US? Insane take.
An idiot bought by corporations.

When was the last time you heard about a large government computer outage? (I don’t count the VA because that’s broken on purpose.)
Launch of ACA markets? But that seemed more like the company paid to make it under sized it or just did shit code.
Which goes back to somethings shouldn’t be done for profit
