Not really sure what youre trying to say here. Most adults i know have held one private sector job or another. The real question here is the externalities. If we didnt have "the private sector" giving us things like cheap paper towels and TVs, our lives would look different to be sure, but we also wouldnt have a lot of the consumptive industry thats driving climate change, etc. The warped perspective is that we need all of those things, and people becoming "radicalized" to them is the system shock of being exposed to the reality: because that reality is often not pretty.
