    This is also why running a country as a business doesn’t make sense - countries aren’t meant to generate profit.

    Yes and no. Not profit, but surplus. Profit is something that is extracted- a surplus is available to be reinvested and improve the quality and quantity of services. Running a country like a “business” makes sense insofar as focus should be made on using generated surpluses to improve citizen’s lives. But we of course know thats not their target with said surpluses.
