>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.
