More bad news

More bad news today with the announcement that Cash Handling Systems – the organisation who makes, installs and manages parking meters around the country – which had only recently gone into liquidation, has now been part-purchased by an Australian company, and expects therefore to continue putting its hand into the pockets of the country’s motorists for some years to come.  (News here.)

    Question: would parking meters (and by extension, the existence of this company) be acceptable if the roads were privately owned?

We welcome thoughtful disagreement.
But we do (ir)regularly moderate comments -- and we *will* delete any with insulting or abusive language. Or if they're just inane. It’s okay to disagree, but pretend you’re having a drink in the living room with the person you’re disagreeing with. This includes me.
PS: Have the honesty and courage to use your real name. That gives added weight to any opinion.
