MvdV>> in the care of managers who's first priority is to keep MvdV>> themselves and the shareholders happy. Did that change the MvdV>> situation? Sure it did! It became more expensive and less MvdV>> reliable. A change indeed. But not for the better...
BF> You've suffered from that too in the Netherlands?
Yes!
BF> Here in Sweden we have exactly the same situation. Just 30 years BF> ago we had to pay what the electricity actually cost to produce. Here BF> in Sweden, with an abundance of hydroelectric power, that meant five BF> Swedish öre (half a Euro cent) per kWh -- because that's the actual BF> cost producing electricity from our hydroelectric plants.
BF> But after our politicians let the market take over, we, the BF> consumers, now have to pay the spot price on the European Electricity BF> spot market -- meaning that sometimes the spot price is what it costs BF> to produce electricity with gas gussling fossil fuel generators. We've BF> never been below 30 Swedish öre (3 Euro cents) but quite often above BF> SEK1 (ten Euro cents) since then.
Here there has been no such drastic raise in price because we always had to produce electricity by burning coal, oil or gas. But what is noticeable is a degradation of the service.
Here on can choose between various provider of electricity. But... there is only one calble running from the grid to our homes. You can not put a tag on an electron. They are all the same no matter to whom you pay. If the power goed down to 190 Volts, it goes down for all providers. If the frequency gous down to 48.5 Hz, it goes down for all providers.
So all the different providers can compete on is price. And you know what happens is price is all one can compete on. They can't compete on quality of the product, becasue they all offer exactly the same quality. So the quality goes down.
We have seen more and longer power interuptions after the privatisation. It is more profitable to pay the fines for failure to deliver than to invest in bacjupo systems. It is not all that bad yet, but the effect is certainly noticable and it will not get better.
BF> Way to go, all you stupid politicians thinking that the US BF> capitalist way is the way to go.
+1
BF> And the same goes for Telco, education, hospitals, and so on.
Not to mention the postal service. In the old days the postman, in uniform with cap, used to come twice a day. Now they only deliver once 5 days a week. Each postal service. So now I have three or four people come by every day to bring mail, but I still have to wait till Tuesday to get that specific letter... How is that for efficiency?
