Well it wouldn't change.

The difference is we are shareholders.

They are salaried employees with targets to achieve.

Our airlines over here won't need bail outs.....yet.

They are run better. Or worse depending on your point of view. Ryan air is the most profitable airline in the world. easyJet is almost as successful.

Leary the CEO of Ryan air took your model and made it even more streamlined. At one point he wanted to charge you for using the toilets .

It can be a new model of public ownership. Not like the past.

It's not beyond our level of intellect to learn from the past and improve it.

We can't just keep bailing out failed companies with no compensation.
i don't understand how a centrally-planning bureaucracy is going to be more adept at responding to market changes with innovation than privately-held or publicly-traded administrators.

Because you are thinking of old models.

it wouldn’t be centrally controlled.

it would as a de facto private company with a profit and loss sheet and at the end of the tax year profits would be given to the shareholders.

except this time we are the shareholders

so who actually runs the business? people who are appointed, people who are elected, people who are appointed by people who are elected?

genuine interest in how this model differs from something like the US Post Office

You're just trying to argue.
I've explained the way of the world to you and given you valuable information, but you've chosen not to accept it.

That's fine.

But I feel I'm wasting my time. Enlightening you is like trying to teach a pig to fly.

Would it be as successful as the USPS?
Because that works like a fucking dream.

Well you ideally get the best qualified people to run it. They are paid at the market rate with usual targets and bonuses.

its a step change but one that clearly needs to happen.

we can’t keep spending hundreds of billions of pounds bailing out failing companies only to see them fail again.

The private sector will still exist. But they never get a single penny of tax payers money again.

If we got rid of the postal service and let UPS and FedEx handle that shit, we'll pay for the airline bailout in about 7 years.

What I will say. And it’s not an apology I thought I was answering captain spam when I brought up trusted news sources.

but I’m fine with you insulting me. You are a master of the universe.

Before I put him on ignore, whenever conors nuts posted, I read his posts like he is the actual Corona virus. It's funny how technically if coronavirus had a voice on here. It would be his

I would make it a workers co-op such that the profits are shared with the employees. Democratise it too. Employees vote on their bosses.
