Certainly increasing and lobbying to further increase incarceration for ever more minor  infractions throughout society would help privatised prison businesses. However eventually continued growth will require further action. The four leading causes of "Crime" according to Alliant International University are: "Socio/Economic" disparity, family breakdown/instability, peer influence and finally substance abuse. How might the organisation go about engendering and influencing increased growth in each of these areas?

It depends on what your goal is.

To me, the goal of providing an essential service, like power, water, health and even the Internet these days, is a focus on providing the service and the positive outcomes those services deliver.

The moment you privatise that, the priority is to deliver the bare minimum service, for the highest price at the lowest cost to the business.

The level of service reduced to what is considered the absolute minimum required by regulatory standards IF any even exist, and innovation focuses on cost-cutting and efficiency, not on improving the service.

Those who think the Government shouldn't be running businesses are purely ideologically based.

There are no good outcomes to privatisation where the result is we have to pay more for less and in the cases of vital services, when things go wrong our tax dollars have to bail them out.

We should not be incentivising turning the people into commodities when it comes to basic needs just to transfer wealth to those who donate the most to politicians.

Just reached the part in a book where Kristina was handed the top spot - as usual, these are very complex issues and one needs to look at what came of these changes as wrought by the power brokers.  It wasn't just her good looks...

I believe we should never have anyone of foreign birth as our head of government at any level -and even at ministerial level.  they know not the ropes of this country and are generally rapists of economies in one way or another.

You can call it anything you like. Can you explain it? Or is it like a religion for you?

The CCP learned from its mistakes, changed course  and created the largest productive capacity in the world.

Do try to keep up.

meantime: costs + profit = higher costs for consumers...no wonder you are desperately diverting from the topic (ironic, since you imagined you  changed the topic of the 'privatization' thread.....]
