Guess what happens to this white man's running water if he doesn't pay his bill?

It gets shut off. It's not a right.

And who is this "private" entity that seeks to come and seize someone's children for not having running water in their house?

Oh, that's right: the government.

Having said that, I have no doubt that a lot of the evils of "privatization" are probably magnified due to illegitimate arrangements between government and large corporate interests. Government-granted monopolies often lead to unfair business practices, inflated rates, and so on.

Such policies invariably bring into effect the worst of both worlds, this absurd hybridization of capitalism and socialism which is, as F. A. Hayek demonstrated, the true "Road to Serfdom".

In their minds, they are special snowflakes that have “rights” that none of us in the realworld have even heard of.
They also feel entitled to “things” they didn’t work for or earn.
Sickening.
And the politicians want to keep it going and growing.
