    If only we actually applied the “public good” principal, then government would also cover healthcare, dental care, eye care, cognitive-behavioral care, education, internet, phone, electricity, and gyms at least.

      OIL and coal. Anything and everything oil related should absolutely not be allowed to be private or for-profit under any circumstances. I will take this to the grave for two simplified reasons:

      1. Oil, fuel and all related is too ingrained into our society that you can’t escape it. Should not be profit driven.
      2. It’s catastrophic effect on our habitat. Pollution, global warming, etc.
