I have, and been a consumer of them, and have quit them easily. > I haven't seen any convincing evidence [...] I guess I could link a page of companies dissolving due to financial mismanagement vs governments or something. The point is not that only one sector suffers mismanagement, it's how that mismanagement is realized/handled/reacted-to, and of course it doesn't apply to every situation. I just get tired of hearing assumptions like a public service is improperly implemented due to funding, especially in this case where I know many of the municipalities are well endowed and should have the redundancy of their systems questioned. Why not ask for convincing evidence for those statements instead?

    > ??? Meaning in many cases adverse effects of private sector failure are easier to divorce than public. > Because I'm not replying to someone making such a statement. Right, I was, hence the thread context. The point was wondering why replies aren't there asking, so of course the reply isn't there asking.

      >Meaning in many cases adverse effects of private sector failure are easier to divorce than public. Government doesn't tend to provide "easy to divorce services", it's a selection bias problem, not something inherent to public vs privately ran organizations. Of course it's easier to change office supply vendors than it is to change water companies. Utilities tend to be government operated (or heavily regulated) because their nature makes a competitive market difficult. >Right, I was, hence the thread context. Why did you agree with the person you were replying to then? You could have asked for proof in your reply, instead of affirming the comment?
