@aral - are you seriously going to argue equivalency between "social media platforms" and military?

Like posting cat pics is as important to a state as protecting its citizens against hostile foreign militaries?

@aral, "Pick ten organisations working the common good and give them €5M each. Let them experiment. Let them pivot. Let them cooperate. The only thing you don’t let them do is exit."

You've just described "government subsidy" - it happens all the time and it consistently produces companies that are tethered to the state and reliant on taxpayers. Please produce a list of companies started by a state (ANY state) that can survive on its own revenues?
