      I don’t understand why people think privatization will improve services. Literally the concept of privatization is to enable system to maximize profits. Why is there this fantasy that more profits means better service for you?

        It can work where there is real competition. For natural monopolies, not so much.

        Usually it happens because the state wants to sell off family silver to make some short term cash :(
