Privatizing services NEVER makes them cheaper.

Snow removal is a prime example. Paying the people was way cheaper and done a thousand times better

Translation : hiring a for-profit corporation to do provide basic public services is always more expensive than just hiring city workers directly. This is obvious.

Like when companies hire a consulting firm to figure out why company morale is low…like just give everyone a raise instead

Hit the nail on the head, corporate welfare (aka privatization) is what’s killing many budgets.

I work in local government and it drives me mad that the public wants to trim govt staff but still wants efficient services at low tax cost. It’s SO much cheaper and more effective to hire people in-house and invest in social infrastructure.

Same line of thinking for defense companies. There are 5 major defense contractors that upcharge 10,000+% for things that don't cost as much for labor/production.

Uncoordinated :
The "justification" is that former wealthy mayors wanted to reward their wealthy friends with exorbitant, needless contracts. You don't need to worry about saving money when you don't care about your constituents.

It’s always higher to contract out stuff. Just do it internally. Hire actual workers for permanent roles where they have a vested interest to do good work. A contractor just does a shit job and leaves.

“It’s just Ask Jeeves, he’s just back.” 😂😂 I want so many more millennial politicians, this is fantastic.

MOSCHOPS :
hiring contractors will always cost more than hiring skilled trades people to work for the city. people tend to like working for their city, plus government jobs will never abuse you the same way as private sector.
