I think all the service industries should be owned by the government. For the people. We need to create a climate of opinion that this the morally right way to go. So that the interests and the priorities of the public and and their priorities not those of investors, If the government owned the service industries the wealth accruing from them be shared to make this a fairer society with a welfare state.
