Forums - General - Privatisation is good for everyone. :))

People are given more choice and competition when public assets that are needed for essential services are sold off cheaply to big corporations known as privatisation.

Water Supplies, Postal services, Libraries, schools, hospitals, Roads, highways, Parks, government, police forces, military and anything than can generate a profit must be sold  to private investors. Assets are sold at pennies on the dollar to the highest bidder. 

 Independent investors can self regulate and conduct self audits and give independent reports. 

Privatisation is good for everyone. There are no negative impacts of privatisation. Privatisation does not result in job losses. Free choice and competition is good for everyone: all winners and no losers. 

Tax payers dollars are frequently used to bail out big businesses too big to fail. Economic downturns help big corporations buy up more cheap bargains and gain more power. Privatisation is good for everyone.

CEOs and directors have an obligation to boost profits to satisfy Share holders interests . Whatever means possible must be taken to ensure increased profits. Privatisation is good and there are no victims. 

Both side of main politics in most countries are pushing through more and more privatisation and selling off more national assets to pay off mysterious debts and reduce deficits. Privatisation must be good if no one is opposing it.

Please stop trolling.



Tell that to my dog! He would disagree with you that it's good to be privatised.



I agree, I hate high quality services that are affordable for everyone, such things are for communists. I would much prefer services that make my country look on par with developing nations unless I am in the wealthiest few % of the population.



Playstation is good for everyone indeed!

I like it. If I had some money I would buy everything I could in my hometown and turn it into a city state.

Privtization is not a good thing for public goods.  To familarize those unfamiliar with public goods:

http://www.economist.com/research/economics/alphabetic.cfm?letter=P#publicgoods

Essentially, the definition of a public good is one that would not be provided efficiently, or at all, by the private market.  Roads are probably the best example, there is a reason that almost every road is publicly owned, its because a private company could never make any money off of building or maintaining a road, so they don't.

Other examples where privitization is a bad idea is where there are regional monopolies, such as a water utility company.  The water company has no competitors, so like a movie theatre selling popcorn they can charge you whatever they want to maximize their profits.  The government has to step in and either own such a utility or decide for a private water company what prices they are allowed to charge, effectively eliminating any advantages the private market has over the public sector.
