Most private businesses are next to useless by any objective standards.
Are you nuts? Did you overdose on "Das Kapital" this morning?

Here, let's list some useless industries:
agriculture
automobiles
clothing
electronics
mining
pharmaceticals
power generation
steel
transportation

Even the ones you might want to make a case for, such as cosmetics, are desired by people who willingly give their money for their products? When did you become so high and mighty that you are qualified to tell other people what they want? Who elected you God?

Why do you think they stay in business if they're useless? Because people consider them charities? Certainly isn't the way gpv't does it- -essentially robbery at gunpoint.
