     if your nation-state cannot provide your residents with:

     • shelter
     • potable water
     • food
     • electricity
     • communications
     • medical care

     without qualification then you have no business being a nation-state.

     just noticed something about this list that pissed me off even more than I generally am these days.

     take a gander and ask yourself how many of those things you have seen your government bend over backwards to provide for a corporation to get them to do business within your borders. then seethe.
