    That assumes that the costumers are long term thinkers and has Perfect Information Syndrome.

    And that a corporation in the wild are never prone to create cronyism, in particular if they're the biggest one around the block.

    And a government monopoly company is the most trustworthy company in Sweden (Systembolaget, our alcohol controlling company). Privatisation there would almost certainly decrease quality, since focus and size are extremely important factors in that service.
    We are all aware that the senses can be deceived, the eyes fooled. But how can we be sure our senses are not being deceived at any particular time, or even all the time? Might I just be a brain in a tank somewhere, tricked all my life into believing in the events of this world by some insane computer? And does my life gain or lose meaning based on my reaction to such solipsism?
