    You make a good point. Even if you have options if they all agree to hike rates at the same time then it basically doesn’t matter.

    Essential services shouldn’t operate as for profit, but how do we fix the often ineptly ran government options?

    There has to be a better option between greedy for profit corporation and borderline inept government run choices.

          They dont in competent countries. A government is a direct and exact reflection of its people. If your government sucks ass, you suck ass. Get involved and try to change it.

            Thats a very interesting take.

            I want you to point out for me a single government where the people are happy with them across the board. Hell I’ll take even 75% of a population thinking their government is doing a good job with everything.

            What one person might find very important will not be important at all to someone else. Where one person might see governmental overreach another might see a perfectly reasonable government.

            This is why government is so difficult. My idea of the ideal functioning government probably doesn’t look exactly like what you would find to be an acceptable government.

              There’s no perfect government, because there are no perfect people, but it’s infinitely better than a corporation.
