Same considered 22 days ago. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42434105 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42434105 This bloomberg article IMO spends most of its time Cherry Picking and making a subtle case for privatisation. Choosing results or outcomes of one country (Poland's move away from communism - 1991 onwards) which had some success privatising government facilities, is not a good basis of argument if that country was significantly different in size or population. Choosing to run comparisons between smaller state and private facilities as more or less the same outcome might seem fair, but doesn't ask if that state's facilities could have had the same outcome and standards for less money while finally arriving at the common situation where govt has some self interested private company fleecing the govt out of money it didn't need to spend. Note: few companies are not self interested, they're almost always about making more profit for their shareholders.
