Looks like it's time for some Public/Private partnerships! Really just let the free market handle it. Selling off public utilities will just be more efficient. Because no big beauracravic overhead and no it's not disaster capitalism it's opportunity capitalism look at how great Argentina is now

Oh yeah, back in the ’90s hundreds of Soviets queued up because they were excited to try some Yankee fast‐food for the first time.
