I find the ”competition” argument quite interesting.
From what I have experienced so far through life it looks like this supposedly healthy competition leads to variants of VW & co behaviour down the line.
I see very few exceptions from my northern europe socialist bubble.
When it comes to:
- School
- Health
- Police
- fire & rescue services
- etc, whatever you would consider part of welfare
I want the best, not a choice.
”Sir, you’re having a heart attack. Would you like the best treatment, or can we offer you this more competetive offering at a discount?”.
It’s just, to me, a really odd way of viewing a society.
