AIUI in the interests of 'efficiency savings', companies seem to be getting rid of or not building in back up plans/spare capacity to cut costs. All very well until a problem occurs.

When water was privatised reservoirs were sold off and I've noticed that there are more occasional power cuts too.

I suppose these things are inevitable given that the private sector is focused on profit and the public sector (in theory) is more focused on service.

Whch is the better option seems to be a bit of a gamble really.
