Random observation connected to my long-lasting theme on government as a business.
Real businesses, at least when seeking profit, try to keep existing customers and bring back missing customers. Now that QT is starting to restore the profit loop, we should see more of this attitude. Even before QT, online businesses routinely detect that I’ve been missing for a while and make offers in an attempt to bring me back.
Salesmen used to ask “What would it take to get you to try the product?”
I’ve never heard that question from a political party or a local politician or even a political interest group. Politics has been outside of the profit loop for many years and shows no signs of returning after QT. Politicians don’t want voters. They only want to obey powerful demons.
Politicians are happy to receive money from humans, but NEVER do anything in return for the money and never even thank us by doing what we THOUGHT they were promising. Pay for value is totally inverted in politics. After you donate to a politician or a party, the party switches its ideology to INSULT the peasants who were foolish enough to give.
