>>1717170I wouldn’t put Japan and Switzerland into the same comparison, they deal within their own governmental protected microcosms. The Bahn here in Germany is quite capable, but service seems to not really getting better, it is declining, but getting more expensive for the consumer and thus doesn’t stimulate more people using it consequently. Privatization is of course not the singular problem, but it all derives from the same trend we see in European politics since ca. 40-30 years; profits are given from state tax income and soaked up by private companies, the costs are spread over the Communities. Cutbacks on social security systems, education, infrastructure, and especially in GB, with one big aim, to transform the island into one big financial paradise for neoliberal hedgefunds and private equity investors, unrestrained by E.U. regulations. The Brexit is just the cherry on top of certain thinktanks’ propaganda.
