Well, I’m oversimplifying by categorizing things as “public-private-partnership”. There are all kinds of ways the public and private sector work together and seeing them all through one lens is never going to give you a clear picture. I just see so many problems with governments making big deals with private organizations. From naming a hospital wing after someone who donated 5% of the money to build it (95% came from public finances) to awarding contracts for big projects (like buying new jets that never actually work), it always seems like the private sector is getting huge leverage out of a little money, or getting paid massive sums and not delivering.
