> Governments cannot make you an alternative

There are many cases where we know for a fact this isn't true.

Many things that governments now do used to be private. Trains for example. Airbus wouldn't have happened without government. French movie industry and so on.

But I agree that its not as easy as government randomyl getting into every random entertainment market and trying to create competitors for everything.
