      Because this generation of Americans has been indoctrinated to believe all government owned businesses is a bad thing.

      It’s better to funnel taxpayer money to private corporations that routinely fail to deliver quality products while the owners rake in the profits.

      Won’t ever be because we’re in the stage where everything is marketed as much as possible.it would take a massive cultural and political shift to change that.

        Nah. It will happen. It happened with electricity, the telegram and advanced education; it will happen to the internet.

          Yes. Just not for a very long time.

          The cultural shift will occur, and future generations will be laughing at us for not having it sooner.

          Like, why support paying private businesses taxpayer money? The same work still needs to get done, only now there’s a small group of owners profiting from the excess funds.
