Privatisation of government.
That's the argument?
Like, I get involving local law enforcement or councils/governments is going to be a pain for dealing with squatters. And getting a private company to deal with it is going to be faster and probably more expensive.
But that's going to be significantly less fair for the people being evicted.
And rolling that out to law enforcement and government seems ridiculous.
I think a lot of the issues people have with the police is that they are undertrained, and essentially a gang that resorts to violence.
Private military contractors are not going to be any better. People will call in the cheapest. So, it's a race to the bottom. Training will be even less, and call outs will favour the person that called first.
If anyone thinks that "the market will sort it out" in regards to anything, they've been living under a rock.
The market will lie, cheat and steal as much as they can get away with in order to provide service to their shareholders.
That's what public companies are: profit extraction for shareholders benefit.
The article then goes on to basically say: give society to the insurance companies.
Because that worked so well for health care
