People bash government by making jokes about the Post Office. This never made any sense. For 46 cents, some government employee, about three days from now, will hand-deliver a letter to your Aunt Freda in North Carolina. What an incredible bargain.
Turns out as well, that the government did too invent the internet. In fact, if I remember correctly, Al Gore was one of the sponsors of the legislation. Says tech expert Farhad Manjoo:
If you spend time looking at the history of the Internet, you’ll find the government there at every step. Researchers working directly for the government and at university labs funded by the government were some of the first people on the planet to think up a worldwide network, and, at the beginning, they were the only people working to build such an outlandish thing. That’s not true just of the Internet. Pop open your smartphone and you’ll find government research at the heart of just about every component, from the batteries to the GPS chip to the microprocessor to the multitouch interface.
Not too long ago, I watched John Ford's version of John Steinbeck's Grapes of Wrath. The Joad family was more down-and-out than ever, and they were just about to give up.
Then, however, they chanced upon a camp run by the Department of Agriculture. The camera zoomed in to show that the camp was run by the government. You breathed a sigh of relief because now, you thought, these people might actually get some help, and they did.
John Ford clearly intended for people to see that the government could be on the side of the average person against a rapacious private sector. Heresy!
Different people in all countries receive the personal loans from various banks, just because that's comfortable and fast.
