Some things that should NEVER be "PRIVATIZED" in a Democracy:

64. They either cost more

or they pay less and provide less benefits thereby dumping more people on the public dole. Either way it costs the government more money even in those cases the direct cost to the organization was less.

The public university where I work "outsourced" the maintenance - which meant all those full-time janitors who were benefits eligible suddenly ended up with jobs that were not benefits eligible. A "savings" to the company of about 30%, maybe 10% of which was passed on to the university, the rest was higher CEO salaries and profit to the maintenance company. It saved the university money but cost the state more money on SOOO many levels - more people on medicaid, less money circulating in the community and therefore less tax revenue, etc. And the quality of the work went down.

The private sector only does a job for less by f**king over workers - ALWAYS!
