> We do understand by now that the state is just a better solution than private entities relying on "market forces" for certain desired outcomes.

I’d say the opposite is true actually. I don’t understand how any mandated entity is better. I’ve formed plenty of organizations, governments aren’t necessary. It’s supposed to help mediate force. Instead people use the governments monopoly on force to get what they want.

In terms of scale, we have planned parenthood, Churches, habitat for humanity, and so many others that work at scale. If pollution was an issue as described people would care. HOAs would hire organizations to monitor pollution and then HOAs would sue for damages. Almost exactly what the EPA does btw. Except the government gets the money and people in the country fund pollution research like this.

Have you run a country? Do you know how that goes? No? Ok then.

> In terms of scale, we have planned parenthood, Churches, habitat for humanity, and so many others that work at scale.

Would you like to know how much each of these groups get in tax writeoffs, subsidies, and aid from the government?

A comment about how we don't need government, and the argument is that government is already doing the job. Amazing.
