This why “privatization” is so insidious.

[u/asdrunkasdrunkcanbe → u/Apart-Badger9394]

Anything which creates a link between base civil needs and profit/loss, is doomed to corruption.

Yes, public services need to be run cost-efficiently, but they should never be run for profit.

The government made the deal here. It’s not privatizations fault for making the offer, the deal shouldn’t have been accepted by corrupt politicians using the people’s tax dollars.

Regulatory capture at its finest

[u/meatypetey91 → u/ikeepcomingbackhaha]

Politicians make really bad deals for their government because they typically stand to financially benefit for it. Whether that means getting campaign funding, side favors, etc.

“It’s not the fault of those who make the bribe” is a bad take

That's the definition of privatization, which they called insidious. I would say that comments on the internet attempting to redefine basic truths are also insidious.

" The problem isn't privatization, it's the fact that these services are becoming owned by individual companies!" Lmao
