I live where the govt gives absurdly large subsidies to bus companies (~500 million dollars per year) and the service as a whole still sucks balls. During peak hours, it’s not uncommon for a bus to not stop because you literally wouldn’t manage to get in.

One thing to keep in mind is that there are many companies that are little more than state parasites, companies that wouldn’t survive against real competition, yet all the blame or any misgivings ends up on the “evil big gubmint” just because.

Hi, Academi (formerly Blackwater) rep here, would you like to further privatize your war endeavors?

The argument against private armies has less to do with efficiency and more to do with dealing with coups from wannabe tyrants. If even “loyal to the state” armies can have internal schisms and take over the government, what can someone expect from an army whose sole reason to exist is “money”?
