Take a look at the world around you and tell me who's fucked up more historically, private entities or governments? I feel like the answer is governments. I don't know about yours, but MY government can't even make up a fucking BUDGET, and you want them doing shit in space? No thanks. Let's let the people with passion, experience, and the right pay take care of it.
Historically, private entities ... not even close. Governments are far more open to scrutiny. Entities pay well to keep their fuckups hidden. You have dig into the hundreds of books written about them to learn the documented facts. How many workers did Ford have shot? (Why did Hitler give him a golden award?) Why did the German dye-makers move their factories to New Jersey, then China? Why was noone willing to insure the early nuclear reactors ... so the government had to?
Option 1: government does it
Option 2: Private Sector does it
So why is our healthcare absolute shit?
Because our representatives allow themselves to be purchased. See bullet point 3 above, and try to keep up please
Because privatization (and capitalism in general) opens the door for greedy corporations to squeeze every bit of profit they can out of something. And skirt regulation or oversight in the process
because because because because (ad nauseum) - the law allows it. that's on the government. We can fix that. No, I don't know how, and if I did, I would be screaming it from the rooftops.
No, it’s on the corporations for doing whatever shitty things they can get away with.
No corporation has the interests of the people in mind. Only their wallets.
We're definitely had a fundamental impasse here
Fair enough. Agree to disagree
Way to miss the forest for the lichen on the trees.
Take some old man's beard and shove it up your ass for me all right
