Not according to Merriam-Webster, the de facto dictionary of American English.

The divide between Federal, state, and local governments in the U.S. is so distinct that the difference is incredibly important.

Use the right tool for the job. We are not the left.

Ignoring your asinine opinion on a fucking dictionary, did you actually read that article because it only gives national government examples and even uses the word ‘country’ several times?

It’s okay to be wrong.

Dictionaries are leftist. You said we aren't the left. You can call state run industries whatever you want, but it's still gongfei bullshit.
