  Your comment couldn’t have been clearer, but 3 out of the 4 replies to it seem to have interpreted it to mean exactly the opposite of what it says.

  Either that, or those three comments are incredibly fucking dumb and their idea of “better product” is “more money for corporations”.

    Telecom wasn’t exactly a shining example of a government run service though.

    Side note: Bring back the CES , privatised job search is an absolute fucking disaster.

      Better product, and better service. Not better on the price, but it was asked for one out of three.

  anything that benefits from/has potential for innovation really (things like launch vehicles), but public services and stagnant industries should be owned by the people
