Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Three things that should always be ran by government: healthcare, education and prisons.
They must exist, and privately owned ones will always have wrong base incentive.
With prisons especially, it is not the interest of private to rehabilitate, but to get people in prison loop. It just cannot work. It is just easy to sell to people because people want prison to be punishment facility.
There's a lot more than three, but those are definitely on the list.
Critical infrastructure (water/electricity/internet) are of course things were government needs to be atleast heavily involved and controlling. And predatorial industries like gambling should be controlled.
Right up there with power plants/wind farms.
healthcare, education and prisons - You mean Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness? Where have I heard that before?
