They've successfully put the space industry into privatized hands- and it is around 100x cheaper and better. (This was said that it could not be done and condemned by almost everyone in NASA and astronauts like neil armstrong). They've privatized DOD software- the same results. Many things should be outsourced.

While it's true that certain aspects of the space industry have been successfully privatized, resulting in cost reductions and innovation, it's not entirely accurate to attribute the entire success to privatization. NASA's partnerships with companies like SpaceX and Blue Origin have indeed brought about some groundbreaking achievements, but these were built upon decades of publicly funded research and development.
Moreover, privatization is not a one-size-fits-all solution. For example, consider essential services such as water and electricity. Many cities that have privatized… Read more
