alt Hacker News"government is inefficient" is a canard spit out by captalists as part of their propaganda program. Same with "you're better off without a union."
Profit going to capitalist owners who don't do any work is an inefficient allocation, IMO, more than an "inefficient" government.
Capitalist using money to buy capital and then sell services, brilliant.
Government using money to buy capital and then provide services, deadly socialism.
It's always just been about capitalists wanting less competition. That's why they don't want the market to decide and fight for laws to literally outlaw stuff like municipal broadband. If they are so much more efficient, they should be able to offer an equal or better service for the same or better price.
