GOP: We should run government like a business
Me: let's raise the prices of parking to match demand
GOP: …wait
Me: the city should buy real estate and act as landlord and dictate local rents through the market
GOP: hold it
Me: we should take on a ton of debt for investments.— Bike Daddy Tim 🚲🔰🍹 (@tstaub) April 8, 2021
In the internet one day I read, (but haven’t re-found it since), that Mussolini was asked to define the political ideology of his freshly coined Fascist Party and he answered, “Fascism believes government should be run like a business.”
Another of his quotes was popularized in American media (in those times) as, ‘making the trains run on time.’
Strikes me as apt.
Thank you for the comment.
