Why do you assume a government-run monopoly is inefficient?

You should try to take a train in Switzerland sometime. Its government run and I guarantee you will be mind blown over its efficiency.

You should take one in Portugal, where it’s also government run…
I made no assumption that government run organisations are necessarily efficient. The comment I responded to implied that government monopolies are inefficient by their nature, which I would argue against.
