You want to run retail stores, gas stations, electric supply like it's a fire station, right? While the government subsidizes the private ones. That's the stupidest ---- I ever heard.

No one wants to run retail stores or gas stations. NYC is opening grocery stores in location that the capitalist markets refused to serve.
As for electric supply, how the electric system supposed to be capitalist? Are we going to have multiple companies with multiple wires and towers on the same street and you pick which one you want? Capitalism requires competition and competition is impossible for electricity, water, fire, and police, and in many cases medicine too.
The REAL investors are the ones who bought stock early and got political favors or pardons in return.
