    I find it amazing that people keep acting as if we don’t know what will happen when private services get privatized despite the fact that we have mountains of evidence for that

      I guess that just goes to show how strong the propaganda and mythology of the “free market” and liberal economics really is. I mean, literally less than a decade ago where I live they finished privatizing the telecom services, and internet/phone/TV have probably roughly doubled in price since then, if not more. Ask anyone and they will say that its worse now, yet many of those people would still support privatizing hydro or insurance or whatever. Mind boggling.
