If its so efficient why do trash companies exist?

If private companies are so efficient then why does the government exist?

Do you see why framing the question that way doesn't help you address the actual problem? I'm guessing you don't since you seem unwilling to consider the possibility that private ownership is not the ideal solution to every service problem. I don't think you need more than a cursory glance at the state of the US to throw that idea out the window but things must seem pretty good to you if you're still stuck in that mindset.

    Not stuck in any "mindset". Been around the block a couple of times, not my first bbq, and every time any government gets involved they fuck it up and steal. Nope not on my watch.

    And government exists as (and was intended) to hold the social contract we all have with each other together by the rule of law. Otherwise it entropy.

    whether your government only makes chaor or actually helps, depends a whole lot on the government and especially on the people in it. there are good governments, for example here in austria.

    the issue is more, whether your government represents you and whether they care about you. that is something that depends on your local context.
