   @leyonhjelm @akatsukilevi the government does not run many things which still have duties to perform.
   
   under common law and pre-nazification of america, it was pretty well understood that a company was expected to do its job. (tort laws generally made a lot more sense imho; more focus on proving harm done & remedy seeking)

     @akatsukilevi under most free market libertarian systems, you can still sue a company for contract violations.

     @icedquinn @leyonhjelm In theory it is still expected
     On paper, if there are two companies(A and B) providing X, and one of the companies(A) fails to do it's job and provides X, it'd fail to remain in the market, and the others will take over(B on this case)
     Yet, in practice, the very existence of monopolies and the whole shenanigans in the power lets the company that fails to do it's job to continue in the market while still not providing what they're supposed to, which causes way too many problems

     @icedquinn

     On what grounds do you believe a power plant is obligated to perform a task in America? Once upon a time the penalty for not performing was going out of business, but that ship sailed a long time ago.

     @leyonhjelm @akatsukilevi services of exceptional importance to the nation have regularly been held to higher standards or seized outright for failure to perform, so.
