It’s what govt has taken over and convinced people that private companies cannot do.To do all these services using private companies you'd need a centralized structure to coordinate their activities, pay them, ensure their safety, write contracts, police these contracts for compliance, coordinate with citizens to ensure they are informed of how to use these services...
Sure sounds just like what the government does...
If you've been to these countries then you are well aware what a strong functioning government does....be thankful you have such a government. It may not be perfect but it is far better than what these countries have...
Man I’d be fine with a cabin in the woods and a dog next to me if I wasn’t married with kids.
