We’re at the 50th anniversary of what some call neoliberal and libertarian ideas. Basically ideas that say government is the problem, get it out of peoples’ lives and life and prosperity will flourish. Reality tells us where those ideas led. Rampant inequality, stagnant wages, soaring cost of living, no action against climate change or a pandemic. Who put government IN our lives? We did. To save us from the lives we’re now returning to. Govrnment always was just about economies of scale, pitching together to make all of our lives easier. Many hands make light work etc.
