The Privatization Scam 0
Public functions should be handled by public entities.
Public entities may from time to time perform in a less than optimal manner, but so too do private ones. Any one who thinks private companies don’t make mistakes and waste money has never worked for a private company.
When private companies screw up, though, it is seldom news unless someone dies, maybe lots of someones, and maybe not even then, because it’s a “proprietary situation” being “dealt with internally” by “application of improved processes and controls.”
When private companies screw up and make a profit from it, though, that’s a whole nother thing. That is “privatization,” which is a good thing because someone’s country club membership is being paid by private profit made from screwing the public up a public function.
Pfui.
