There's a fundamental difference between most private entities and public entities

But not the products they make, a government made screwdriver and a private made screwdriver are gonna be basically the exact same, the only difference being price and the market forces that the producer is impacted by.

Which is what my comment was about.

The thread was about services (like fire stations, police stations and the likes), so I think it's relevant to mention that markets are very often ill-suited to provide the best services you can get (and they're often more expensive than public options, too).

Yeah I kind of touched on that in this part,

Well other than now having to pay for double the amount of infrastructure, you now also probably have people who own and profit off the stations, which introduces every normal market pressure, positive and corrupting.

But you're right, maybe I should've hammered harder specifically on market forces, but Ancaps treat the market as their god so I was trying to avoid it.
