    Hell, without competition, even taxis can be held to a standard.

    We’re going to pay a fortune for the government to provide safe infrastructure. But they’re going to hire all the right people vet them and make sure they do it right. Until they don’t.

    Even NASA had to fall hard to get put back on track. I still think government services are the best option. Damn if the water isn’t fucking muddy. Pun not intended but I kind of like it.

      A lot of your points, valid as they are, can be addressed if we have good transparency and oversight.

      Let’s take advantage of how digital life has become, make reports accessible to the regular Jane/joe that detail where our tax dollars went.
