re: #166 Dark_Falcon

I’d object to the point on privatisation, as I feel that private firms can be used successfully in services like garbage collection and road repair. But for other things like parking meters (Chicago is currently suffering from an extremely bad privatization deal on those), though, should remain under government employ.

It has been my experience, here in Wisconsin over several decades and many governors, that Privatization=rip off the public. Every time it happened service quality decreased and cost increased.

It’s rather like knowing that when a contract for road construction is let only the Republican companies ever win the bids and never pay penalties for being late & over budget.
