Had privatization ever worked out? Like, ever?

I was trying to think of a single example where it made the service better and I legitimately can't?

Because it is never the service that privatization seeks to make better. Private corporations make more money. That is the only target metric.

Yeah. The rich go from funding it as a service, via their taxes, to making income off of it, via dividends. Everybody wins!

So long as you're only counting the rich.
