You said private companies have a profit motive- if not, they die. I used Amazon as a counter-point. Uber still isn't profitable. So if companies can run for over a decade without making a profit, I'd again say the entire system is broken. Zombie companies burning capital while driving out possibly profitable competitors is a symptom of rot, not a successful financial system. Again, my point is that for profit companies are every bit as bad if not worse than government agencies who at least pretend to have oversight.
