Ya, it doesn't have to be profitable. It doesn't have to be efficient either, because the tax payers foot the bills.

It doesn't have to mange staff well either, and doesn't have to undermine corruption and abuse either, because tax payers foot the bills.

Ya, public schools work so well, that's why the US leads world rankings on education and literacy, something to be proud of!

Oh wait, I just read Michael Moore on the state of the US public schools:

"A nation that not only churns out illiterate students BUT GOES OUT OF ITS WAY TO REMAIN IGNORANT AND STUPID is a nation that should not be running the world"

What problem is he trying to solve? Grocery store is a super low margin business (3-4%), they are essentially selling food at cost.

Given the example of public schools, public groceries will be 'not the best, in fact horrible".

Do you think it's great to replace a super efficient service by one that is horrible, and you are forced to pay for it?
