Answer is pretty simple, its because people without strict anti-establishment sentiment do not believe that someone like Neumann is actually better than governments.

I believe that people like Neumann are the reason why we have some bad people in governments, like the chicken and egg? Was the corruptor born before the corrupted? I think so?

But yeah I trust government more than privates, if anything because there are three branches in governments that oversee each other and are independent and because people can try but somehow the justice comes

And most importantly, are elected

I don't think anyone argued Neumann was better than the government.

The point was that when Neumann fucks up, a few limited partners get screwed over. Maybe a few building owners too.

When the government fucks up, everybody gets screwed over, but mostly you and me, the taxpayer.
