University of California finds that privatizing the water supply increases health and life expectancy.

"Using the variation in ownership of water provision across time and space generated by the privatization process, we find that child mortality fell 8 percent in the areas that privatized their water services and that the effect was largest (26 percent) in the poorest areas."

"In fact, empirical evidence from several sectors strongly suggests that service quality, productivity, and profitability rise significantly following privatization"

Of course, I expect the Liberals to come on here and tell me I should move to Somalia and drink the private water there. LMAO.

In African, Latin American, and Asian third world and developing countries because their water is polluted.

I don't think that rule would apply to industrialized countries in Western Europe and the USA/Canada

LOLs.

Any excuse, without proof, to keep the State in power.

And even if quality improved little we wouldn't want:

"....quality, productivity, and profitability rise significantly following privatization"

Liberals would rather give that up and let the State run things than let a private businessman make a profit. SMH.

I am not liberal, but I dont want privatized water , the Kochs fund Tar Sands oil, look how great that worked out for Arkansas. [not]

I dont relish getting an erroneous monthly water bill of 6k because of a private contractor screw-up.
