    It’s because after privatization the DB (Deutsche Bahn) figured out that neglecting their infrastructure until it causes a crisis, causing the government to step in and pay for repairs is much cheaper (for them) than maintaining it properly in the first place.
    Seriously, fuck the DB.

      Fuck the idiots that had the idea that the DB should be run like a private profitoriented company. Nurture, embrace, rebuild and improve the DB.

        But the first few people that could say that their quaterly numbers were so much better argued that their quaterly numbers were so much better! How could you argue with capitalism?

      Are you seriously arguing that infrastructure shouldn’t be privatised while usage of said infrastructure could very well be?

      Butterfly meme: is this socialism?
