Anon OpinPrivatisation doesn't create competition. The free market doesn't lower prices. All it does is degrade the service because the profits go to shareholders and company execs, not back into the business for improvement. All the selling points of privatisation are fucking lies.
Mike Taylor 🦕@anon_opin An actual free market DOES lower prices. But you can't get a free market without regulation.
Meneer de Bruin 🚂🍉🔻@mike @anon_opin Nope. Not in all cases, services/products you do not want to leave to 'the market': Electricity, water, gas, roads, postal services, taxes, hospitals, public transport, police, military, ...
@MeneerDeBruin @anon_opin Of course. I'd add health and education.
