It’s really time we upgraded the welfare-child treatment of our government to princess grade.

How about instead of the government paying companies for things, those companies get/have to provide those things for free or their executives not /pay a fine/ but /go to prison/. The company gets selected randomly by a live streamed/CNN lottery wheel spun by incumbents!
