    Were also really into bureaucracy and there’s only 5 million of us, so it’s much easier keeping actually tight regulation and high quality control.

    Hell we had health inspectors come check my supply group when I was in the army (my as in I was the leader). We had been set up in a literal fucking swamp and a govt health worker random inspection came to take a swab out of one of the hands of the cooks. Luckily I managed to wrangle the only guy with semi clean hands to be the one who was tested. But yeah we made actual food for a few hundred people and the health standard the army has are like 10-15% higher than in civil life. Like the internal temp of the food must reach 85C instead of 75C etc.

    But yeah my main point being it’s much easier for us to boast about tight and well kept regulation as we’re so much smaller, so much less to govern and such a different way. No federal government needs to fight with states etc.

      Yeah. The US is pretty much just an oligarchy with some protections stuff still in place from the past. The masses are easily swayed by propaganda, and the rich can afford to buy a lot more of that.
