frezik,

If you believe this, a year working at a Fortune 500 should cure you of it.

But surely you must admit that they do extract more wealth from the working classes for people who just move money around. Let’s see your profit-less crown corporation do that. Checkmate /s

Typically this is something I hear more commonly within businesses.

Unsurprisingly the business thinks business is the most efficient way to run anything.

3valc,

You should see the companies in charge of the mexican government.

SlopppyEngineer,

People: “Government should be run like a business”

Government: “Speed enforcement is now done by a private business. You’re welcome.”

People: “They’re now trying to squeeze every less cent out of us with speed enforcement!”

Business: “Efficiency!”

SinJab0n,

R u talking about musk?

How dare u!

Dusktracer,

My guy. The government can’t even make a budget and gave trillions of dollars away to commit genocide. They’re both bad but the government is worse.

LavaPlanet,

Famously, the blue guys in Australia, defund our public infrastructure, go ‘oh no, broken now, have to sell, only private peeps can run this / it will run better / for everyone’s best interests’ (simultaneously pats themselves on the back for bringing money in, even though that thing they broke, brought money in, until they broke it) also, spoiler, they sell the things to thier mates.

b-b-but wait times

Belgdore,

The government should not be efficient. The faster it moves the faster it can oppress.

Private companies are why Flint still has lead water pipes, and why Texas doesn’t have a working power grid, and why you and I are facing a 30%-50% increase in our cost of living.

There needs to be MORE regulation. Not less.

Secret300,

Which government?

We are DEFINITELY NOT more efficient than the public sector
