Guess that hit a bit close to home. Don't worry, the Morlocks actually work (eating Eloi) instead of just asking for government handouts so the comparison isn't completely apt.

Yeah, all those people clogging the roads on my daily commute are just going to pick up their govt checks...

That's a whole different kind of sharing. Most privatization efforts are just rent seeking-

Repubs would have us paying for air if they could figure out how to do it.

That was my point. Private public partnerships aren't inherently bad. There are examples where such partnerships can benefit everyone. The left only opposes private public partnerships that seek to rip off everyday citizens so that the .01% can continue to increase their wealth.

I don't hate you or cities. But unlike you I'm also not motivated primarily by concerns about boogeymen like 'public private partnerships.'

oh. but welfare queens, illegal voters, illegals committing crimes, ISIS sneaking in over the borders, death panels, etc

Those kind of boogeymen, right?
