[lbo-talk] Say it ain't so, Max

[Max B. Sawicky]

Actually at first I didn't read to the end of the article,
so I had no idea what Patrick was talking about.

The idea that contracting can never be worthwhile is simple
ideology.  You can believe it or not, but professing the
belief accomplishes nothing.  I don't believe it myself.
To support or debunk the idea, you need some notion of
justifiable criteria for contracting or not contracting.

Public production of services does not necessarily lead
to more equitable distribution, to more cost-efficient
production, to more regard for the environment, to
a better deal for the workers, etc.

I have no idea why Max thought it worth conceding an inch on this 
issue, and even after his response, I still have no idea.
