My previous unspoken point was shareholders' dividends increase the
cost of doing business.  So when a private sector company with
shareholders operates a school/prison, they can't compete with a
government based school/prison.  Additionally, a private sector
company must pay taxes, generally, unless federal/state exemptions
exist.  .

>>We need not fear monopolies!

Currently, just those internet based computer programmers who are
basing a price on this/that factor.  For instance, a regular customer
may pay more or less for a product, depending upon the program.

>monopolies!

In most/all US states, power companies, land based telephone
companies, etc., are regulated.
