    The government/companies are slowly but surely privatizing as much as they can of this industry, i think this year several companies will get permission to start operating here.

    So yeah, in like 10-15 years things will be as bad as in the UK in terms of liberalization.

        It's also funny how i've never had a problem with Renfe (the company who kind of operates trains and is kind of public, or something??) and yet lots of people from Madrid complain every single week because their precious trains had a 10 minute delay or something.

        I knew a guy who used to strip copper from old abandoned factories. He’d say, “These things got hollowed out by some rich fucks years ago. I’m just finishing the job.” He once got a couple hundred bucks for an industrial radiator that no one else wanted to bother to haul out of the basement.

      Maybe you'll end up like Japan where the state does all the work, private companies swoop in, but at least the trains still go fwoosh :deeper-sadness:
