Which nationalized entity would you like to emulate? Please provide one nationalized company that is an example of quality and value we can emulate. Would you like your power to operate like the DMV?

Apart from the schools, the roads, the post office, the hospitals? No I can't think of many. Electricity and banking would have been on that list before they were privatized though.

As for Venezuela, they've also been subject to US sanctions when the privatize something, so cause and effect are hard to determine.
