Communist governments used the threat of violence to take by farmland by force. How did that turn out?

- "Remove planning rights from local/city government entirely"

- "use the government to essentially take land and repurpose it"

These are third world tactics.

Local stores also use UPS for their shipping. This hurts them too.

It's quite naive that you don't think the EU is harmed significantly by Britain leaving. The EU would take Britain back in a heartbeat.

I don't get it. The USPS has lost billions due to government policies and can't enforce prices due to government policies. They are forced to deliver to unprofitable routes and have prices set to inflation due to government policies. Private delivery services like Amazon and Fedex are generally profitable and don't have these issues. Why is a government alternative better?

What about losses from federally funded corporations like USPS and Amtrak that are bailed out every year? Amtrak loses over $1 billion/yr and they are still "nationalized." USPS loses multi billions per year.

The parent is still wrong. Customers of private rail lines can use competing services (trucking) which they often do.

What is your point? $1.5 million is used to attract a CEO who can manage a large corporation. That is less than many players on second tier English clubs who are riding the pine. That is a rounding error when considering $233 billion paid to unions.

Yes, and? Unions of both sectors try to maximize their profits. Which do not?

US consumer rail way is a quasi public corporation (Amtrak) that has lost money for decades and is still funded to the tune of over $1 billion per year. You are confusing that with private US rails.

There are 3 million rail cars moved per day that haven't produced apocalyptic skies and chemical rain. You misrepresent the overall safety of private rail lines.

Thames Water's CEO has a $1.5 million pay package which is lower than CEOs of corporations of the same size. The funding for public unions in the UK is $233 billion. Great comparison there.

Amtrak, a public rail company gets over a $1 billion in public funding. Private rail lines do not. Amtrak has operated at a loss for decades unlike private rails.

Using your faulty logic, the owners of the privatized corporations are public citizens too.

The USA's rail lines are privatized and they're anything but "shitty" and "expensive" considering they're lower cost than trucking.

Do government unions not try to maximize their profits from the public or am I missing something?

This is such a propaganda piece. NYC has a per capita murder rate of 5.5 according to its latest report. There were 40 states with a lower murder rate [1]. The highest murder rates are all in blue cities [2]

What percentage of gays and minorities were shot in Provo or Lincoln compared to cities like San Francisco and Chicago? I am assuming you have statistics to back your statements.

The highest gun violence rates are in heavily blue cities like Detroit, St. Louis, Memphis and Baltimore.
