Cheap example and probably not even true I know but you probably get the idea. You are in new territory make the most out of it. I know it won't work out for everyone but there is no need to make it come across as if I have any pleassure in that, not that you say that directly but the contempt is received

As for OT, we have privitised healthcare and it's a bad idea, you got a perfect case-study here in the Netherlands on that. It got better for some, but unaffordable for others, especially people who need help for addictions and mental diseases are screwed.
On the highlighted bit: your contempt for "coal shoverers (sic)" who were superseded by the invention of trains is noted. Anyone with knowledge of the history of trains knows that coal and railways went hand in hand.
