        I’d rather have it be cut up into a bunch of little companies.

              it would allow for a more efficient and streamlined delivery service alongside better regulated sale of goods and proper quality checking and consumer protections that most people moan about the lack of, which would not be fixed just by monopoly busting

                nationalizing it would keep it a monopoly, while cutting it up would cause the bits of the company to have to compete to keep each of their delivery services efficient and streamlined

                consumer protections can be implemented with regulations

            Just burn it to the ground. It’s just consumerism.

        No, start by nationalizing SpaceX. Then we can deliver packages REALLY FAST.

      We’d be better off rebuilding it all from scratch with an economic system that actually works for the people this time.
