Let's just take air travel.
Do you want 50 different pilot certifications, qualifications, and sets of work safety rules?
How about 50 different profit centered corporations running air traffic control.
50 different sets of radio communications rules?
50 different sets of aircraft maintenance regulations, parts standards?
50 different specifications for runways, safety equipment, and security?
50 different versions of VFR and IFR rules
each state responsible for its own GPS system and other nav aide specs?
50 different ways to co-ordinate with military flights?
50 different fuel quality and handling standards?
even 50 different ways to figure out what time it is.
I can't see any of this as being superior to having the feds run all of this.
The states have neither the budget nor the expertise for these things. States sometimes support business without regard for their citizens (i.e. W. Virginia/coal) Corporations can factor in litigation/settlements for wrong doing (even including wrongful death) as a cost of doing business. I can't see advocasy groups being effective here either.
