1. I never talked about services nobody will offer. I am talking about looking out for the needs of every individual vs. the individuals you choose to look out for. Think about mail. The government should make sure every person gets mail delivered. FedEx should not have to worry about that.
2. Obviously governments are about choices, but how and why they governments make choices is different from businesses.
Remember, a government and a business are two different entities that serve different purposes and have distinct characteristics. Here are some key differences between the two:
Purpose: The main purpose of a government is to provide public goods and services to its citizens, maintain law and order, and protect the interests of the state. On the other hand, the main purpose of a business is to generate profit by providing goods and services that satisfy consumer needs.
Ownership: Some governments are owned and operated by the people, through elected representatives. A business, on the other hand, is owned and operated by individuals or groups of individuals, who may or may not be accountable to their stakeholders.
Source of funding: Governments are funded through taxes, fees, and other charges levied on citizens, whereas businesses are funded through investments, loans, and sales revenues.
Control and accountability: (Some) governments are subject to democratic processes that provide checks and balances on their power and ensure accountability to the citizens. Businesses, on the other hand, are subject to market forces and regulatory oversight, but are primarily accountable to their shareholders and investors.
Social responsibility: Governments are expected to act in the public interest and promote the welfare of their citizens. Businesses, while expected to operate within the law, are primarily driven by profit maximization and are not necessarily obligated to prioritize social responsibility.
Overall, while there may be some overlap between the functions of a government and a business, the two are fundamentally different in terms of their purpose, ownership, funding, accountability, and social responsibility.
I don't understand your distinction at all.
