As humans are very bad a predicting the future, centrally planned economies come with so many added problems that market based solutions are frequently more realistic.
Every corporation is centrally planned.
I recommend reading The People's Republic of Walmart. Businesses have figured out central planning, there's no reason it can't be done for nations.
No, they are not and how a business functions amd how a national economy function are incredibly different.
Walmart isn't a federation, it's very centrally planned. It's also larger than a lot of nations.
The only thing missing is a military.
Are you really this poorly educated in economics that you do not get that for profit businesses and nation states function under completely different realities?
Last I checked, businesses and nations exist in the same reality and follow the same physical laws.
Central planning works and you have been lied to by those same businesses that don't want to be nationalized.
They function under entirely different realities when it comes to economics. If you need this explained to you then you shouldn't be making definitive statements about anything related to economics in any regard. Microeconomics and macroeconomics exist for a reason.
Below is a link to MIT's open coursework providing free classes on specific subjects. You might consider looking into intro micro and macro.

I literally recommend a specific book, do you think I'm so fucking stupid that I dont know what economics is? 😒
Related: MIT's pooled investments returned 8.9 percent last year and its endowment stands at $24.6 billion.
Yes, because it's so great that they're trying to run the nation like a business right now.
They're trying to strip the wiring from the walls. They're not even running like a business, they're running it like VC.
Let's not pretend they're trying to centrally plan anything. The doggy department hates central planning. They just tell ChatGPT to come up with things to cut
