      Yes because it’s so much better when it’s the government who has the monopole.

      The only counter example that comes to mind is EDF in France but other than that it doesn’t change the problem.

      It was also capitalism that told us competition is supposed to be a good thing.

      This message brought to you by capitalism.

      It’s no different than an industry self regulating and then miraculously never finding anything wrong doing.
