5 Reasons Why I Love the Government More than Companies

1. 1 of the most obvious is transparency, such as salary. You can find the mayor, governor, and president's salary. You don't know how much supervisors at companies like Microsoft and Nintendo make. Maybe you care to know, maybe you don't care to know, this is just 1 of the easiest that come to mind.

b. Governments make it public information for dates of employment. If you want to know what year a police officer joined the force and what year they retired, governments are required to make that information available upon request.

2. Receive lawsuits. Government organizations like the police have no problem receiving lawsuits. This is also true of large corporations, but smaller 1s, the harder. So there are stories of trying to hand lawsuits to individual people, who deny who they are or try to run away / drive away. The smaller and less organized the organization, the more likely they'll say "you got the wrong address."

Take gangs for example, will they ever receive lawsuits seriously?

3. When they compete for you getting information, the government does a better job almost all of the time.

I been trying to hunt down former landlords / former property owners. For example, suppose I want to inquiry about someone who lived in 2005, and his landlord sold the building to a new person in 2010. And the new landlord hires a real estate company to find tenants. The real estate companys phone number are on the building. And I contact the real estate company, to "can you contact the landlord for me, to try to get them to contact the previous landlord?"

Not only will the real estate company not care to give you the landlords name, or the previous landlords name if they have it, I have to go to the government to get that information.

So, 1 such incident, I found out the current landlord never met the previous landlord, because, the bank was the previous landlord, for 1 year. Which means the previous landlord foreclosed, or went into debt, bank took it, bank sold it to next landlord a year later. But the real estate company never got back to me of course, and I eventually replied to them that I finally got my information, I finally got the previous landlords real name, and that the 2 landlords could not have met.

4. Multiple cases where if the governments law is on your side, you can go to the government against the company.

a. Large companies can choose to not hire you because of your race or disability. Red-green colorblind is considered by the government to be a disability, but being left-handed is not. So if a company refuses to hire left-handed people, then there is nothing you can do about it. But, if they refuse to hire you because you're red-green colorblind, and to a position where red-green colorblind doesn't affect your job performance, you can go the to the government for that. (You will have to prove that being red-green colorblind will not affect a job you are applying to.).

b. Minimum wage laws are another example. And while Republicans hate minimum wage laws, I've learn from personal experiences, from hating broke landlords, that I hate broke companies. I've had landlords that claimed or pretended to be broke since day 1, and therefore, never got my security deposit back. Then, there are broke companies that are too poor to pay people a minimum wage salary. And so, why do broke companies exist and why can't they go away (as in the owners find a real job).

c. Nintendo is big on non-refundable stuff. You can buy an on-line game 1 year before the game comes out. But it is non-refundable. In Europe, they think differently than the U.S. at some times, Nintendo lost a lawsuit in Europe. So now in Europe, you can buy a video game 1 year before it comes out, but can make a successful refund 1-week before the game comes out. And Nintendo fought the Europe lawsuit all the way until they lose.

Currently, Nintendo has things like 2 video games, A and B. You can purchase a downloadable add-on for games A and B. However, they make it possible where you can buy an add-on B to A, or add-on A to B. But doing so, putting the wrong add-on to the wrong game, will not work, but they make it possible and non-refundable. So they are punishing people for being stupid.

d. When you read the nutrition facts on a food item, what ingredients are inside and how much of it, do you think it is voluntary? Do you think the company voluntarily puts that information, or because they were forced to? Would you want to eat at a restaurant, that was not regulated by the government in their cooking and cleaning standards? (Think time travel.). Same can be said for pharmaceutical companies and hospitals.

5. It's easier to make a change in the government than it is in corporations.

If you don't like the way a company does things, the most you can do is talk to the CEO or top dog of the company. But government isn't privately owned, it's based on elections, that have term limits. Chinese and Mexican restaurants can choose who they want to be the next owner, but mayors/governors/presidents have no control over who they want to replace them.

Toyota CEO for example, was against making electric cars (so who cares if Toyota refuses to make electric cars, 1 less competitor in the electric-vehicle market), and when he steps down, he chooses a like-minded person as replacement. Compared to U.S. presidents, you can have 1 president that is for the death penalty and 1 president that is against the death penalty, consecutively, and vice versa.
