People who think the government is bad generally point out that there's only one government, but typically multiple corporations.

I am not one of those people, but their point does need to be fully addressed.

There are numerous governments in any given country, if you consider the various overlapping jurisdictions.

Taleb sees business and government as equally incompetent, but businesses are supposed to die and so make room for better ideas to thrive.

Unless, of course, you bail them out of their mistakes.
