      who’s fucked up more historically, private entities or governments?

      Historically, private entities … not even close. Governments are far more open to scrutiny. Entities pay well to keep their fuckups hidden. You have dig into the hundreds of books written about them to learn the documented facts. How many workers did Ford have shot? (Why did Hitler give him a golden award?) Why did the German dye-makers move their factories to New Jersey, then China? Why was noone willing to insure the early nuclear reactors … so the government had to?

              Because privatization (and capitalism in general) opens the door for greedy corporations to squeeze every bit of profit they can out of something. And skirt regulation or oversight in the process

                  No, it’s on the corporations for doing whatever shitty things they can get away with.

                  No corporation has the interests of the people in mind. Only their wallets.
