If evil corporations stopped being greedy everything would literally fix itself, and it would not be magic.

Imagine getting electricity from solar as what it cost to deliver and not having a price set by a market at all.

Imagine if the corporations were not allowed to extract profit from you’d to give it to the shareholders and banks.

There’s an almost uncountable amount of spare money, when you remove ‘profits’ and put it back into the service .

That just economically does not work on a large scale.

But sure, I could see it for one industry. That's government ownership.
