Why would we trust private orgs more? At least government is democratically controlled and despite the small-government rhetoric, I don't see it as inherently more corrupt or less reliable than private orgs - just look at the news about them, even recently (Red Cross, Weinstein, Equifax, etc etc.). Government does many great things: Air travel and automobile deaths are way down (per mile). Research funding has provided endless improvements in quality of life and amazing advances to the frontiers of knowledge (the Higgs Boson comes to mind). Public education, from pre-K through college, has transformed and educated the world. And let's not forget those government engineering projects that orbit distant planets, send us pictures, and sometimes land on them and drive around. Private orgs and government are two tools in the toolbox that do different things, with some overlap. For things that require equity, such as disaster relief, I think we need government. It's not nearly perfect, but I'm not holding my breath until the nearly perfect institution, public or private, appears.
