>You can’t socialize losses and privatize gains.

Companies do this all the time though.

For example, here in Louisiana the utility companies do this. After a major hurricane, Entergy will fix and upgrade tons of infrastructure and then get to tack on a +$15.00/m on to your utility bill for the next 5 to 10 years to recoup the costs all while they are making millions in profits each year.

Why pay for it themselves when they can just force the public to do it.
