This is what happens when you vote republican, Part I

Well lookee here:  seems that in Michigan, after our republican leaders poisoned Flint's children in an effort to "save" money, amid new allegations that a veteran's home which was privatized wasn't providing quite the same care as the union nurses Governor Snyder's minions fired, and the maggot infested food that Aramark (contracted by--who else? our republican leaders) fed to the state's prisoners, some republicans, off the record, are admitting that perhaps running the state of Michigan like a business hasn't worked out all that well.

Ya think?

I've said it before and I'll say it many more times until enough people stop believing republicans' bullshit free market mantra:  There is absolutely nothing the government can do that the private sector can't do a lot worse while charging us a lot more money.

Corporate fail, ad infinitum

Like many states, the state of Michigan has turned its prison food distribution over to a private company, in our case, Aramark Corrections.  In what I'm sure comes as a great shock, Aramark has poved grossly inept in its handling of the food distribution for Michigan's prison population.

One thing it illustrates for certain, though, is that if you want to guarantee that American taxpayers pay more for worse service, you'll turn public run systems over to the private sector.

There's absolutely nothing these folks can't fuck up ten times better than our average citizens.
