@david @pluralistic I agree whole heartedly from the NL, and I tell you a reason: private companies are *not* more efficient than governments. anybody who thinks they are never worked at a corporation, or had their eyes closed. private companies / corporations *look* more efficient, because they have less regulatory mandated transparency... which is softspeak for "they can juke the stats easier".so yeah, privatising critical infra / running it like a for profit thing misses the point.
