This is just begging the question. The "cooperative will of people" is nothing but a catchphrase invented to justify government power. You are just saying that a government owns whatever it claims, and then moralizing about "the town's well-being".

"I don't care about your ethical reasoning" is a good summary of your reply.

Finally, someone with common sense. Nuclear is bad BECAUSE it produces lots of cheap energy. We DON'T WANT this. More energy = more capitalism = evil.

DEGROWTH NOW!

"because the profit is the service which is being provided" What does this mean? Are you saying healthcare has positive externalities and hence should be subsidised? I don't think this is true, since the positive externalities are dwarfed by the benefits the individual consumer gets.

Not really. What copyright violations is the AI industry "built upon"?

"democracy, per se, includes minority protections (i. e. if it doesn't then it isn't a democracy to begin with)."

Does anyone believe this?

You're acting as if politics AKA overregulation (first person to say "You think nuclear should be unregulated???" gets a medal) has had no effect on the price of nuclear energy.

"Insurance is a scam that lets the rich get richer. All insurance should be non-profit." Such empty platitudes never made for a good argument.
