Are you actually suggesting that the profit motive makes companies
interested in something besides profit?  Advancing the technology that
we use to trans****t ourselves around could only cut the profits, so why
would any profit-motivated cor****ation want to do that?

There's as much bloat in the private sector as there is in government.
The difference is just that shareholders are happy regardless of the
cost in private industry as long as the company makes a profit, whereas
the same expenditures in public industry are labelled as "waste".

-tom!
