So you'd like to see our parks turned into Disneyland. First, disneyland is what, a couple a hundred acres with rides and lots of stuff to keep people busy. What is an all day ticket for a family of four now, over $100.00? A lot of poor folk can't afford that kind of entertainment. Now take a national Park with hundreds of thousands of acres, like Yellowstone, larger than one of our states. There are many aspects to Yellowstone bseides the pay booth at the entrance. The wildlife management for example has a few hundred employees.
Don't you think the first thing to be cut in privitization would be jobs, who needs to manage the animals anyway, right. So in a market where jobs are dissapearing you would have privatization come in and eliminate jobs for the almighty dollar. do you have no sense of the plight of the average American, the ones struggling to make the rent and food needs. Jobs are becoming scarcer by the minute. Privatization would surely mean job loss.
Streamlining as capitalists like to call it means cutting jobs so the bottom line can be increased. Just what this economy needs.

So, your answer to any unemployment problem would be what? Turn General Motors over to the federal government to run? LMAO!

Have you been to Yellowstone since the mismanagement of the federal forestry service burned the freakin' place down?

I dont know how is it in America, but i have voted for the Britsih side of it.

I personally think services run by the government are more effiecient than of those by the private sector. The postal system, the gas network, the telephone system, parts of the NHS(including allowing me to clean there!) amongst many others.

China's doing quite well.

Whilst privatisation has money popping out of it, the business relationships that form still perpetually become hazy, leading to poor service. Competition may drive the prices down, but it's from the price of when it was privatised as i'm sure the government, under close scrutiny of the opposition party would of maintained a liberal and just tariff to any of it's services (and probably cheaper than the cheapest privatised one in the aftermath).

The post office is more efficient than UPS? I'm moving to England!

Afraid not, it's privately owned, tis extremely bad, i've worked there which in a way proves how lax they are on recruitment .
I have a friend who still works there, has done for 20 years. He's turned pretty much dead towards any of the many managers, since the privatisation of it. It's now simply mismanaged.
When it was government owned we always get post before we went to work. Not like now when it's not likely before you get back home.

I thought all prisons were privatized? Don't they use the prisoners as cheap labor?

There are privatized prisons, not all of them though.
