I looked back at my reddit history, it was from another article at cnbc but it's obviously from the same press release...cnbc..., and here's the commentary on reddit even though the post has been pulled reddit.....

Even though they sell it as private-public partnership not privatization, I don't trust it...
I would rather see all the tax-cuts over the years rescinded/ the wealthy taxed appropriately , so that the government can pay for it, instead of them reaping profits by virtue of their wealth.
And I think George Carlin was right when he said that bipartisanship is when both sides have gotten together to screw YOU over..

It is hard to briefly give a quote to explain the article but I will provide a brief excerpt.

Among the most promising opportunities is “asset recycling,” where a private company buys the right to rehab and operate an existing government-owned property (like a toll road or parking lot) and in exchange keeps a portion of the future revenue charged to the public to use the facilities.

This approach is so effective because many of these facilities need expensive repairs and governments lack the budget to pay for them. By leasing them to private companies, these partners can pay to have them fixed and run them more efficiently — providing a better customer experience. In turn, governments can use the proceeds of the transaction in other ways, and often also receive a portion of the revenue, which they can invest in everything from new bridges to expanding schools.

Just trying to help not that I agree with the concept.
