Essential services should be provided for by the state, it no longer isnt in most places of this country.
These sell offs mean that profit is the motivation behind the running of these services, not service. Tell me how much better off are we all now?
Has electricity gone done? water? phone? improved rail service?
Agree 100%.
I'd much rather take a tax hike for a period of time in order for the state to purchase back essential services, rather than leave it in the hands of the private sector that continue to get greedy.
