    I don’t care or expect public services to be profitable, just lower cost and higher quality than a private Enterprise version.

    Do we need quality, clean, reliable drinking water? Then don’t depend on shitrag nestle, who will figure out how to make it a stratified subscription.

      Hell, without competition, even taxis can be held to a standard.

      We’re going to pay a fortune for the government to provide safe infrastructure. But they’re going to hire all the right people vet them and make sure they do it right. Until they don’t.

      Even NASA had to fall hard to get put back on track. I still think government services are the best option. Damn if the water isn’t fucking muddy. Pun not intended but I kind of like it.
