All they have to do is effectively use the public funds alloted to do the things they’re tasked with doing. Not everything should generate profit.
For so many services, profit-seeking creates perverse incentives. Well… all services. But maybe it’s tolerable in some circumstances.










Nope! None of those situations should be motivated by profit imo. Basically, nothing that is necessary for life should be for profit, in my opinion, as long as the state can handle the administrative burden.
But like… if the people demand some random, superfluous thing and the state doesn’t have the will or resources to produce it, maybe that’s where markets come in.
