Date: 2001-12-27 11:34 am (UTC)It is beginning to seem natural to you that the telephone system, railroads, auto manufacturers, airlines, and power companies are privately run; you can remember back to the pre-Thatcher era when things were different, but you can't see things changing and don't have very strong feelings on the subject anyway.
Many of us do have very strong feelings about this. These industries were owned by the country, paid for by the tax payer and then sold at virtually no cost to private companies, we then had the opportunity to buy shares in them, companies that we already owned! When they began to fail, more tax payers money was pumped in. It's bloody ridiculous.
Anyway, that's just one example, sorry to go on so.
