I’m not too sure that returning some functions to the private sector is a bad idea. Our government departments aren’t doing a bang up job with safety or maintenance as it is, while spending millions of wasted dollars. There’s a good argument to reducing government control of a lot of infrastructure and returning it to the private sector. It would certainly cost us less in taxes and eliminate a mountain of government waste. (We have a private electric company where I live and we sure don’t see 4 guys standing around while 1 is actually working…)
Governments number one business is getting re-elected. That is their profit motive. Private Sector is in the business of providing a good and or service within a competitive environment and that is their profit motive. One of these above is in a competitive environment, the other is force. While neither is perfect, there is only one that can be trusted
