Well a lot of people think like this,
if(org.isFailing){
switch(org.ownedby){
case GOVT: print "Privatization is the answer"; break;
case PVT: print "More Regulation needed"; break;
}
}

Just want to point that that phrase says "Privatization is the answer; more regulation is needed". I'm still wondering how it's classified.

I can't tell if you're being sarcastic, but a common criticism of The Economist's values is that they have never seen a problem that could not be fixed by deregulation and privatization.
Like the second-to-last paragraph here, for instance: http://www.theguardian.com/media/2005/aug/21/pressandpublish...

For their 2015 outlook issue, The Economist asked readers to submit predictions by Twitter about the year's events. One prediction they published said, "The Economist will continue to recommend market-based solutions for everything."
The Economist thinks privatization is the answer? Is this thing real?
