Private companies are master at screwing customers for profit. Lefts not try to be private companies.

You should see the companies in charge of the mexican government.

Which government?

I mean, I'm not arguing for private companies, but our government is quite spectacularly inefficient at anything except generating prime ministers! Mind you, they may be trying to be worse than the private sector so they cna claim the private sector is more efficient than the government, I guess...

Typically this is something I hear more commonly within businesses.

Unsurprisingly the business thinks business is the most efficient way to run anything.

I work for my local government and everybody means well but are hampered by a lack of funding. I complete a statutory required role, that is one of the two key performance indicators and it needs 2 people full time and I'm the only person on it.

It sort of depends on what the company is doing.

Honestly I was expecting more dogshit takes in the comments. Anyway everyone should read Elizabeth Anderson’s book “Private Government”
