    Nationalized is not better. Then you just have an ever larger pool to externalize the losses against, and a simple political appointment to scapegoat to “fix” the problem.

      Capitalism is the problem, but I agree that nationalization is not the solution. This is yet another industry where regulatory capture made possible by legalized bribery has become a serious issue. We need to reimplement strong regulations and punishments for companies that don’t meet them.
