Mixing a public option with a private option isn’t that ideal either. The wealthy with their ability to influence politics will lobby to undermine/weaken the public system to save their tax dollars. You are better off with one system s

The poor schlep did what his manager told him to do. The manager used the schlep because he wasn’t given budget to do it right. So, don’t excuse the behaviour the organization enabled it.

That isn’t quite fair. Consumers aren’t told about DRM. The spec sheets don’t speak about what restrictions are in place. You only discover after the purchase that some capability you had assumed you could do no exists. E.g. for me I’ve had

The problem is not today but what the ecosystem will look like 10 years down the road under that system. We saw it before and it wasn’t good. In short the carriers had control and companies that wanted access to consumers had to strike dea
