People need to start asking them what the point of the profits are when the money isn't going back into the respective region (municipal/whatever the states version of provincial is/federal).
Like great, yeah, the fire department is now private. But there are no profits because nobody can afford the services anymore. Insurance goes through the roof, neighborhoods burn down... Real great plan there.
All fire departments used to be private. Go read how that went.
At the end of the day these things are politically motivated. The "economics" are just academic smoke screen for it all.
Looking at their circles we can see them doing a W with the mission accomplished at news coming out of Argentina. Anyone that is motivated by truth seeking would just say its too soon to tell.
