Marijuana industry. Then at least i could find some. Plus what I did find I could choose strength and flavour. At 48yrs old I only get it when I bump into it. I enjoy a mild one now and again. Moderation and responsibility is the key and I wish everyone would realise that so that I could bloody well find some.
Utilities like gas, electricity, and water are the obvious places to start, but buying out the owners at current share prices, given their current profitability, would be prohibitively expensive. If they were making heavy losses though, the share prices would drop to peanuts and they would be affordable. So how could that be achieved? Well, freezing consumer prices at a low level for a few years ought to do it. But wait a minute, that's the very policy Ed Milliband has just committed to. Maybe he's not so daft after all.
All Utilities, all communications, all banks and rail. Thats the infrastructure of the country owned by the country.
Brewery draymen, just had a bit of a strike here. I can put a fire out myself but if the pub runs out of draught your done for. OGR
Prostitution. It would keep it clean, less danger for the Wimmin, and laws can be introduced to get rid of mingers... im not into prostitutes by the way...
If they are profitable then maybe tighter regulation is the way to go rather than nationalisation. Regulation would have to include commitments to maintaining adequate levels of service and investment to meet future demand. State ownership should be a last resort. Freezing prices and Nationalisation without fair compensation would be positively Stalinist, so it fits in with Red Ed very well.
