While I wouldn't recommend it with the current state of laws within the United States, the judicial system could (theoretically) be privately run. When you think about it, all the judiciary is supposed to do is make judgements based on the legal framework that has been created by the legislative branch of the government, or precedence set by a higher court, so as long as the legislative branch and supreme court are managed in the best interests of citizens lower courts could be privatized. Unfortunately, when you have multi-thousand page laws full of contradictory and poorly written rules it is unlikely that a private business would be able to consistently judge cases.

I could theoritically quit my job and peddle acorns on the streets, but that would also be a stupid.

Please explain why you think it would be stupid?
Certainly, there may be some issues with ensuring objectivity and neutrality but I don’t think they’re inherently worse than judges who are elected or appointed.

Yeah, lets stop electing judges and let a private business whose only incentive is profit run the judicial system. Why stop there, instead of electing politicians lets let a private business run Congress and the White House.
Also, the next time I need to fill up my car I'll just piss in my gas tank. Its cheaper, but the fuel gauge won't be on empty.
