It's always strange to see this kind of statement presented as axiomatic. This sort of circular reasoning sounds like ideology on autopilot. Utilities should be run by businesses, not the government. Why? Because the government is bad at running businesses.

- jeffbee 6y agoWhenever you find a blog called something like "Notes on Liberty" and it isn't written by Frederick Douglas you know it's just going to be a libertarian trash fire, and that's why this kind of statement passes as axiomatic. There are far too many examples of excellently-run government services to just let this slide. My favorites on the national level: air traffic control, and weather forecasting.
