If disaster relief was privatized, it would be directed to where there was the most profit to be made or where the CEOs lived (e.g. New Canaan, Greenwich).

If disaster relief was privatized you would have businessmen profiteering off of the misfortunes of Americans. You would have insurance companies investing in and owning these companies in another type of credit default swap money making scheme.

We'll maybe not as blatant as that LOL, but yeah. You can't inject profit into these types of situations IMO.
Army corps is not disaster relief. Unless you are saying that private firms should take over for the army corps? I mean they did such a great job building the levees in Nu Oleens right. lol
If the subway was private then the company that runs the subway would be fixing it correct? I don't see where you see evil profit involved in this scenario but that is what the left does........vilify anything that doesn't have the government involved in it. Good work.

No, people are not talking about the subway being private. They are talking about disaster relief being privatized.
I have noting against capitalism or the private sector, I just don't see it as the answer to everything.
There are some situations where making a profit and providing a service are not particularly compatible. The public sector is the public sector for a reason. Now can some services be provided more efficiently? Of course. But for a profit? No, not so much IMO.
"private enterprise in the sphere of production is the most effective and useful instrument in the interest of the nation"
Ahh your hero Mussolini.
“The corporate State considers that private enterprise in the sphere of production is the most effective and useful instrument in the interest of the nation. In view of the fact that private organization of production is a function of national concern, the organizer of the enterprise is responsible to the State for the direction given to production. State intervention in economic production arises only when private initiative is lacking or insufficient, or when the political interests of the State are involved. This intervention may take the form of control, assistance or direct management.” (pp. 135-136)
