      Then you’re wrong…

      That’s not an opinion, you just don’t know what privatization means:

      privatization, transfer of government services or assets to the private sector. State-owned assets may be sold to private owners, or statutory restrictions on competition between privately and publicly owned enterprises may be lifted. Services formerly provided by government may be contracted out. The objective is often to increase government efficiency; implementation may affect government revenue either positively or negatively. Privatization is the opposite of nationalization, a policy resorted to by governments that want to keep the revenues from major industries, especially those that might otherwise be controlled by foreign interests.

      You’re literally arguing for privatization, and defending it by not knowing what the word means…

      Are you serious right now?

          And you’re still surprised someone “brought up privatization” when you argued for the literal definition of privatization from the Encyclopedia Brittanica?

          Like, not just that you disagree with the actual definition of the word, you’re saying you were legitimately ignorant of the real definition, and that’s why you were surprised I used the word that literally describes your opinion?

          And despite all of that…

          You still think your plan is well thought out?
