No…this whole idea that the people own the government is fantasy. It’s not real.
Why do we choose to hire workers to be our assistants in that business, then? That would be kind of stupid to hire and employ workers for a business you don’t own.
I agree that most of us will never talk to the assistant we hire, only cry later when they didn’t do the job they were magically expected to do without them knowing what was expected of them because they aren’t mind readers and the bosses were too afraid to talk to them. But such is life. I’ve seen some mom and pop business owners do the same.
