No, and I'd appreciate it if you stopped putting words in my mouth to build straw men and asking rhetorical questions. You've been doing it all thread long. It's tiresome. The brainless should not be in banking. — Willem Buitler
There were two issues being discussed: > the gratuity of a service provided by a bank > the suitability of the state taking on a specific job
To my question: Why on earth do you thing the state is better suited for this type of a job? You answered: Because the tasks you listed are a no-brainer. No innovation required.
So... I was quick and wrong in implying that you were responding to the issue (gratuity) - when in fact it was the second (suitability of the state).
I do not think that your criteria (whether or not a task or a process is a no brainer) is applicable to making a decision as to whether the state or the private sector is best suited to complete a specific task. Really. There are other factors at play which are much more important.
