Verstaatlichung von DB und DP?
Sollte die Deutsche Bahn und die Deutsche Post(Telekom) wieder verstaatlicht werden?
Meiner Meinung nach ist die Pflicht Gewinne erzielen zu müssen für ein staatliches Unternehmen das zur Infrastruktur gehört nicht sehr vorteilhaft. Sieht man ja am grandiosen Internet und der tollen Bahn hier.
DB and DP today are publicly owned companies. The old government mail is no longer available today. In the past, there were still officials working there, today these are all employees. Many civil servants are retired by early retirement schemes.
For Deutsche Post and Deutsche Telekom I do not consider it necessary; the market actually works. I would rather have been in public hands; Switzerland should be the model, not Britain.
Deutsche Telekom works?
Deutsche Telekom works better than all its competitors
I have no reason to object. What is it? you Problem?
Better not Equally Good
This is not only not very advantageous, that is a gray. I am in favour of free markets from which the state has to stand out, but nevertheless I believe that a complete state company is better than this grave construct Deutsche Bahn. A private-sector corporation 100% in state-hand with a secured monopoly, worse it is not.
However, from my point of view, the railway is not nationalized, but completely handed over to the free market. The DB rail network may be in state hands, otherwise it will not go, but on the rail has free competition to prevail, even and precisely on the long-distance traffic. This would lead to better, more expensive and even more favorable rail connections, on all levels. This would allow both drivers and flight passengers to get over and everyone, businesses, travelers and even the environment would benefit.
It should be clear that this is not going to happen so quickly. It should be accompanied by a complete deregulation of the group and enormous incisions at the staff. Of course, no one wants to answer that in politics. Without that, the train would be bankrupt in under one year. Such a juice store that is the railway at present could never exist on a free market.
Post and Telekom aren’t even so bad. They are not completely in state hands, nor do they have a state monopoly.
For God’s sake. This is quite terribly flopped in Britain. From the passenger’s point of view, a terrible scenario.
I don’t know the exact backgrounds in GB now to judge yourself, but would suspect that there are still other problems playing with me.
The answer goes to both of you.
These are all problems that can be encountered with an intelligent setting. One could, for example, determine that all providers need to participate in a common universal ticket that then also applies to all providers. Of course, only in addition to your own offers and with an extra charge, but you could also limit them.
You don’t need to turn the spear around if you had read my answer at all. The rail network as an infrastructure remains in state hands. Then the state would also have several ways to connect to uneconomic places. Such routes should be used free of charge or if they operate them, they can count on tax relief, etc.
This would create even more chaotic conditions – as with truck feeders. Wage dumping and the renunciation of legal regulations would then, wherever possible, be on the agenda.
A product and a service now have a certain price and they should also cost it.
Deutsche Telekom and Vodafone are similar: in places with 1000 inhabitants there is no fast internet because a glass fiber cable is uneconomical.
You can also turn the spear around: Why aren’t all roads privatized? At some point, the road to the 1000 inhabitants would then be shut down due to lack of sufficient traffic and too low toll revenue and the only connection would still be a field road …
Well, imagine buying a ticket from London to York with Virgin. Your virgin train is falling out and the next one is not taken by GWR or National Express—— because the ticket is not valid. To name an example.
