Negative, Ghost Rider. Whilst one manufacture had come up with this or that feature, it was a law that socialised it for all of us.
Socialism in America? Easy: armed forces, libraries, hospitals, churches, roads, bridges, parks, beaches, rivers, dams, weather forecast, jet engines, air traffic control, internet, rural loans, sewage, potable water, shelters, corporate bailouts, corporate loans, prisons, vaccines, pastures, electric power, grants, loans, loan forgiveness, food stamps, social security, Medicare, space programme, etc. Just to name a few. And then the heavily subsidised industries, oil and auto to begin with. Every time you utter ‘Murica First, there’s a socialised dollar behind it. It could be better. Amen.
