I am pretty sure I am slamming the potential corrosive nature of for profit endeavors.

I worte: I am not saying we should not be capitalists and should be against the for profit model - but we should wake up from the delusion that the private sector can do it better. In some cases, the private sector does it worse and is worse.

But you got fixated on the fucking privatization angle with me. Also, Sesame Street can only work as a non profit if it has a showcase on a network like PBS.

Have you seen daytime television? You think Sesame Street could compete with Judge Judy or any of the AM broadcast staples? What deregulated broadcaster is willing to lose money showing Sesame Street when then can make more money doing shows about “Who is the daddy, DNA tests”?

Now move on.
