      I like nationalising industries, but here in France, privatizing France Telecom made Internet and phone prices much lower.

        Only because it is highly regulated. The FAIs have to allow everyone access to the network. Free wouldn’t exist if it wasn’t for that.

        I pay the cheapest electricity of all of the OECD, and rake in billions every year that is reinvested in society. Thank supply side Jesus for publically owned monopolies.

        How’s that competition going with the Texas grid? You people are so fucking brainwashed that you think the shareholders have your best interests at heart.
