Free Market Miracle #0010
Philadelphia wants to expand its public Internet service. A state law, supported by Verizon Communications, may prevent other cities from doing likewise.
The companies are lobbying furiously to block such plans, fearful that their businesses would be hurt. Their efforts most recently paid off Tuesday night in Pennsylvania, where a new law bans local governments from creating their own networks without first giving the primary local phone company the chance to provide service.
Yeah, you know, because the private sector is so fucking much more efficient that the public sector. Because fucking welfare queens need to get off their asses and find a job. Because the fucking "free market" will magically sort the wheat from the chaff.
It's not enough that the taxpayers develop the technology and create the infrastructure which is then turned over to the "private" sector, the taxpayers have to lick the sweat off the "private sector"'s nuts, too.
Companies such as Verizon Communications Inc., which helped shape the Pennsylvania law, argue that telecommunications firms would have little incentive to build networks if they have to compete with government-subsidized service.
Yeah, god motherfucking forbid they should be exposed to the motherfucking "free market"! Here's some fucking incentive for you, fuckface: provide a better service at a competitive price, customers will choose your service, and you'll make a profit. That's how it fucking works, right?
If that's not incentive enough, then fucking go out of business. You think we give a fuck?
"Uh, well, we kinda like it better having you pay all our set-up costs, then turn it over to us so we can have a monopoly. That way, we can provide a lousy service, and still charge whatever price we like."
