One facet of free enterprise capitalism in theory was that the merit and value of some would be obvious to customers and lead to their flourishing, while inferior washouts would go out of business. But the government picking winners and losers and regulating in favor of some against others and tailoring taxation and labor union power* to favor some and hurt others interferes.

Oh well, maybe communism will work. /S

* For a long time railroads still paid a “fireman” on locomotives even though there was no fire to be stoked.
“The fireman controls the steam and anticipates the changes as he feeds coal or wood to the firebox and water to the boiler so the engineer can speed up, climb hills, slow down, and stop at stations.”

And many jobs have had full payment of a shift for a worker who spent part of one hour doing a necessary task at a plant—with nothing to do the rest of the shift.

The dot com boom and bust was much less expensive in terms of tax dollars being wasted. This urge to build a new Tower of Babel in order to touch the debit card of God will not end well. Just a matter of time.
