Are you suggesting it is the history of an industry that should determine whether it is privatised?
Another stupid question from a self confessed fraud.

Same with health care.
More stupid questions in a long line of stupid questions from a self-confessed ideological fraud, only capable of asking stupid questions rather than presenting and defending your own mindless ideology which is based on the
current evil, interest bearing, debt money fraud (addressed in the MMT thread, post #149.

Cor blimey...don't look in the mirror, it will break into a million pieces.
Quote:It is better because you say it is better, but you have obviously put no thought at all into the truth of what you are saying, or even how to identify the truth.
ROTFL, coming from you, a (self-confessed) fraudulent ideologue who has no interest in identifying the truth.
Your non-replies to Dnarever certainly explain why the current
blind-leading-the-blind democratic malaise is evident all around the globe. (eg, France, is it the extreme Left or the extreme Right or somewhere in between, that has command of 'the truth", while the poor keep getting poorer, no matter who is in power?)
Quote:Take electricity for example. It is a commodity.
No, it is an essential service which should always be in public hands. That's why SA liberal premier Sir Thomas Playford nationalized SA's electricity grid in 1950, because the private monopoly Adelaide Electricity Co. refused to develop newly discovered cheap brown coal (in 1950), in order to preserve higher profits via higher electricity prices based on previously existing more expensive black coal reserves. Playford dealt with that self-interest/greed quick smart.
Quote:It leaves no wiggle room for you to blurt out that public electricity is of better quality than private.
Oh God, a dummy AND a self-confessed fraud. Of course electricity is electricity,
whatever its source (public or private).
Quote:All we have is price and reliability. Both easily measured.
Yes, but the source of the electricity - renewables, or fossils, has a massive impact on prices.....which eg the Adelaide Electricity Co refused to admit, to protect its profits when cheaper brown coal became available in SA, compared with the existing more expensive black coal preferred by the company, to protect its profits, f**k the public....
Quote:For all the endless whinging about transferring electricity production to the private sector, why has no one presented a shred of objective evidence that it is actually worse?
Plenty of evidence eg the massive spike in privatized gas production and subsequent electricity prices in Oz several years ago, the mother of all market failures; and the fact the world is committed to exiting fossil fuels, demanding nationalization, as it becomes clear private sector markets will not achieve the transition to renewables quickly enough.
Still not interested in extricating yourself from your
current status as a self confessed fraud (by reinstating the reply button in your post #125, in the Modern Monetary Theory thread?)
Apparently
personal integrity doesn't rate in your ideology. Pathetic.
