    They get so many subsidies, at this point just nationalize the industry honestly. We pay for most of their profits with out tax money anyway. I don’t understand why they’re still privatised in this case.

      You honestly think anybody would be working those hours if they don’t even own anything? Also, if the state did what they do, employ a whole lot of foreign people and pay them way below the minimum wage, the outcry would be extreme. The state needs this to be private, otherwise it would be way more expensive.

        Just pay people livable wages to people working in the industry. There’s no need for it to be privately owned but socially subsidized with our tax money. At that point the privatization doesn’t make any sense.

          I totally agree. I’m just saying there’s a huge cost factor to take into account, plus it’s not easy to transform an industry so huge.
