I cant help but noticing that governments are rather useless when it comes to solving basic social issues.

The problem with every government comes in 4 forms:

1. Every government solution costs money

2. Every government solution contains harm

3. Every government solution prevents natural solution of the problem, or natural reaction to the problem

4. Government becomes more and more expensive over time

We dont really see governments improving society over time. What we see is: as government expands, society declines.

These 4 problems cannot be solved by government unless government chooses to stop causing them, by choosing not to do anything.

Tao government is essentially Tao anarchy. It cannot even be called a government, since it doesnt govern a lot or at all.

Taoism holds that humans and animals should live in balance with the Tao, or the universe. Taoists believe in spiritual immortality, where the spirit of the body joins the universe after death.
It makes a lot more sense than Trumpism.

Yes.

Worshipping Trump is a poor choice.

Society becomes more and more expensive over time.

Society is just a human system that includes government.

It's  no use blaming governments for the society that we all create.

Anarchy will quickly replace one government with another,

Because that is how the social system works.

Zed is correct.

Inflating Systemic Bubble > deflating bubble > Inflating Bubble > Bubble Eventually Bursts! aka disintegrates  ......' ' ' ' (  (  (< < <????> > >  )  )  ) ' ' ' ' '.......New Bubble

New Inflating Bubble > ....o.......O........(O).........(  * *  ).......(   * *    )..........(.......^..^......)............

New rising bubble meets other falling bubble every 250 years or so on average?

You pay to the government. And you pay more and more.

Because we expect more and more.

Which costs more and more.


Despite your best efforts you're still a consumer.

In so much as government costs more because we demand more. 

Do you think that a society without government would be a bed of roses?

Yes. Everything would be cheaper until new government comes and starts growing.

Have you considered demanding less, so that government spends less?
