Welcome, my dear and valued readers, to another chapter of my blog.

Today, we’ll be talking about the private industry.

In today’s world, the need for services is a priority.

Everyone needs a service, whether it’s internet, home deliveries, food, parcel shipping, etc. In general, we’re always going to require using one of these services, and here, the companies that provide them play a crucial role.

Typically, these are private enterprises. Thus, we approach the main topic of this post with a question:

What would the world look like if things like roads and water services were privatized?

Honestly, if roads were privatized, I believe it would be much better.

Of course, prices would be much higher than the taxes paid for state-managed services.

But we can see the difference between a road managed by a government versus a private one.

We have examples of this in Berlin and other cities like the U.S., which are highly developed, and the difference is staggering.

When there’s development and advanced civilization in a country, this is usually done by private companies contracted by the government to carry out these projects. What happens is that the results end up being high-quality infrastructure.

For example, in Berlin, there are roads built through private initiatives that are technological, using solar energy to power lights and send traffic alerts or messages to drivers.

This is part of the private initiative that demonstrates how these services are high-quality.

We also have examples in water services, and the comparison I’ll make is with Venezuela.

Here in Venezuela, the hydroelectric system is managed by the government, and this is the main reason the service is so deficient.

Because the equipment, such as expensive turbines, was acquired long ago, but the funds were wasted on corruption, purchasing turbines and equipment that weren’t of the best quality.

This led to the service provided by these turbines being very poor, and over time, these machines deteriorated.

Repairing or maintaining these large-scale systems is now very costly—even more expensive than buying high-quality equipment upfront.

If this had been managed by a private company, the investment would have been substantial from the start, allowing them to acquire the necessary high-quality equipment to provide efficient service to the population.

We suffer from this, which answers the next question:

Would it be terrible if privatization were in the hands of these companies?

I believe it definitely wouldn’t be a very, very good thing, and companies could easily maintain roads and water services in optimal conditions at all times.

Because private industries of this type generally have the financial capacity to manage and sustain the entire service.

And again, examples can be found in developed and civilized countries like Sweden, Berlin, and the U.S., which are the most notable cases, as well as Japan and Tokyo, where we see major technological advancements in roads and water services. In many cases, water even arrives hot to homes without needing a heater.

This is a service provided directly by private companies and, in some cases, the state—but only because private sector investment ensures quality.

In conclusion, I honestly believe and see that private enterprise is a significant contribution and solution for implementing widespread benefits in roads, water services, and other everyday services for the population.
