I absolutely can.

Venture capitalists shouldn't exist. Our laws shouldn't insulate people from liability.

What's the difference between private and government?

We want voluntary associations, yea? So we work with/in our communities. We can choose larger or smaller municipalities or companies, but we don't violate the local, voluntary bits.
