1. logic and reason just don't seem to work,. examples all over the world either.

It is amazing that people in the US can simple rationalize private/corporate hospitals, prisons, schools, etc. some things are simply better organised without a profit motive.

3. Agreed 100%...there are things that the profit motive cannot help.

Firefighters, Police and the military are others that have seen large pushes in privatization in the last 35 years.
Deriving your living from the misery of others - and only being able to increase your personal wealth by depriving others of large portions of theirs - is an inherent conflict of human interest.

Crony-/Rigged-capitalism is destroying the fabric of society itself in search of more profit and its sickening to witness.

2. K&R .... Makes sense to me. nt

4. The Professor Is Right Again!

He makes unquestionable sense. The only problem is that the powers that be know it and do everything in their power to not let these salient points see the light of day. We somehow have to force the powers that be adopt ideas like these.

5. Marked to watch later.
