Remember, no matter how much neoliberals will try to convince you:
Public services should not be required generate income.
Water, Power, Communications, Healthcare, Education, Public Transport, Mail, Firefighters, Police, Libraries, Swimming Pools, Roads, Generally all infrastructure, Military
None of these things were created with the idea of making big profits with them, they are meant to provide you with a service which is being paid for with your taxes. Privatizing any of them will make them worse, not better.
Though, companies are very good at pretending they are better for a while, by simply deciding to lose money for a few years. The bill always comes due before long, though.
@catraxx @orange_lux Agree, but would like to add something:
Public services should not be required generate income.
Generate income just to generate income isn't a valid aim. Income should be used to do something, or it's useless.
At state level, income is precisely supposed to allow to have working public services.
People who want public services to generate income take things the wrong way –and should be required to explain what other objectives they aim for said income.
