Au contraire. This is exactly what government is supposed to be good at. Co-operation and co-ordination is the whole purpose of government. The whole Social Contract is based on the idea that we can accomplish more, and be more prosperous if we all pull together, rather than compete.I prefer to keep the government out of it as much as possible because they're not good at these things.
How is a zero sum strategy going to address the common good?That's what's great about America -- private industry solves the problems much more quickly because they're financially advantaged to do so.
Corporations were originally conceived of as temporary associations to serve the public good, though a reasonable profit was allowed. If they could not demonstrate a public benefit at their charter renewal hearings, they were dissolved.
Now they've become completely detached from any duty to the public. Today, corporate ethics revolves around their fiduciary duty to their shareholders, and it's considered immoral to fail to maximize profits by any means possible -- even at the expense of the public. If you can make more money by charging extortionate prices for necessities, it's immoral not to do so. Obsolete, money wasting, "socialist" policies like the Strategic National Stockpile https://www.phe.gov/about/sns/Pages/default.aspx are quietly dismantled or neglected.
Part of the corporate cost of operation is the buying of politicians, whose jobs depend on their serving the pecuniary interests of their overlords. No-one is looking out for the interests of The People. Emergency preparedness is a money-loosing game, thus not in the interest of corporations and not the business of government.
It's The American Way.
