There’s almost no mystery about a group promoting privatization; they’re almost certainly capitalist libertarians, and clearly with sympathy from neoliberals. Oh, and their track record sucks because while they chase fantastic profits from “supply and demand,” the quality of their road work leaves something to be desired, and it turns out that demand is elastic to the point of collapse.[1] The concept of a social good is entirely absent from this completely asinine thinking.
