National Park Privatization

Another Great Idea From BushCo!

    Okay... look. This ridicule of privatization is indeed quite pointless. Why yes, SOME companies looking to privatize National Parks may be seeking to do this, there ARE companies that are COMPETENT enough to hire PEOPLE WHO ACTUALLY KNOW WHAT THEY'RE DOING and also AVOID constructing franchise buildings in such places. There are actually –gasp– companies that know that the /actual live nature/ of these Parks is what makes them /appealing!/ The sad thing is, though, that when the government tries to 'privatize' certain things, it often does a hapless job and doesn't bother to check the reputability of t he company to suit their needs. Profitability lies in appealing to consumer's likes and wants, and starting construction and placing franchises, etc... will ruin the appeal of National Parks, and thus doing so isn't too profitable. I must admit, though, that this animation was a peculiarly hilarious ridicule of what improperly-handled privatization contracts could have resulted in, albeit exaggerated for the most part. Your sense of satirical humor is much appreciated. Sincerely, ~A random teenager
