I'm a dyed-in-the-wool libertarian/conservative, and I think Fox News is mostly garbage.
As to your deregulation comments, this is not an either-or. One can lighten and streamline regulation and have a better environmental/social impact. Duplicate regulation by multiple entities can hurt real progress.
Same for privatization. A switch to a full privatization isn't the right move anymore than full in-house operations. A balance is appropriate. Giving all private operations to any single operator is a mistake, in my book. That just opens to door to kickbacks to get the work. You want everyone hungry, and everyone in the game. You want small players, not just Veolia or General Electric. No good reason why most services like garbage pickup couldn't be handled by several firms who compete financially and in service quality. Our city needs to be a good manager of resources, and learn how to pick and judge services to residents.
