  • Look if private companies want to make their own networks they can go right ahead I don’t see why politicians buddies should be allowed to buy infrastructure on the cheap.

    Internet access is effectively a duopoly with Virgin on one side and everyone else reselling OpenReach on the other.

    What do you mean trains are under full government control? 10 of the 14 train companies are private entities. Labour is putting them back under state ownership currently, well said they will.

    Privitisation is always short term gain for a long term loss.

    There is also the NHS which is constantly kneecapped to make privatisation seem like a good idea too.

    I also don’t believe private entities should be allowed to own defacto monopolies and critical infrastructure you can put as many rules as you like in it’s still not a good idea.

    My water is privatised. My waterways are full of shit. Every single one. The companies are bitching about needing money to fix the pipes even though they are getting more money than ever before but the CEO is getting a bonus for doing such a “good job”. Fuck off.

    Oh my Internet is also privatised too and I have two options dog shit speed or dog shit stability.

    The buses are privatised the timetable says a bus every 20 minutes. They show up every hour on a good day and you have to check their site and guess when the bus is going to pull to your stop based on where it is on the route.

    Trains are most expensive in europe. Technically they are state owned. Foreign state owned. But hey atleast the track is still state owned.

    Privatisation is bollocks. You don’t get the competition lowers cost when your options are a single company. Even then they would collude on pricing or mopolise anyway.

    Not the person you replied to.

    That’s easy it’s not not wanting to come off as a creep. Where do you meet them? I have been told you cannot approach women in the bar, work, gym, through hobbies etc. Only place that is okay is dating apps and they are awful for so many reasons for everyone involved.

    You don’t want to be creepy so you don’t approach people. Then you get people calling you creepy for being lonley.
