I mean, public companies have to chase the quarter, private companies donโ€™t have to. Private is a curse and a blessing. It can be better because the ownership might be reasonable, or it could be worse because the owners are insane.

Public is predictable, for good and for ill. Private is a a wild card.

The only safe bet is worker owned.

    And private companies still exist in and play by the rules of a capitalist system, yes. A system that encourages being unethical and chasing profits. So you bet worker-owned is the best bet. That or a lot of regulation, which the US is deliberately lacking.

    So yeah as a Linux user I'm not putting 1% of my faith in a US corporation.
