AND ANOTHER THING
Even IF someone running the country like a business WASN'T a batshit idea already, NOBODY IS GOOD AT RUNNING BUSINESSES ANYWAY.
Study after study after study AFTER STUDY proves out that paying a living wage improves quality and output, yet no businesses operate that way.
That means that the vast majority of companies operating today ARE NOT AND NEVER WERE interested in being the best and most efficient versions of themselves, and are chiefly focused on wealth extraction; all other functions are secondary.
You don't hook the "burn everything for profit" machine up to the "keep all the people alive" machine. Nobody should have to explain why this is a terrible idea.

thats the whole point of capitalism! if anyone cared about quality or output in the first place, theyre not the ones with the power to make that decision now, because capital depends on relentless appropriation of surplus value, which is to say exploitation of labor. -

@nonehitwonder according to study after study they could extract more wealth if we had a four day week. But companies are run and owned by people, and coming into money doesn't exactly turn you into homo economicus
