Private companies motives are for profit the public companies motives are to serve.

Private companies motives are for profit, and they get that profit by serving the consumers. There is a guarantee involved with a private business that simply cannot be said of public services. Public services do not get anything in return; they exist only because the government forms them, and the government also controls the laws of the land, which puts them at an unfair level at the very start. If a public service fails for you, what can you do? Not much; the lines for complaining about such things are often long and bureaucratic. If a private service fails for you, you can take immediate action in a court.

Once your house is burnt to a cinder you mean?

Private companies try to do the same job for less money and make a profit, this does seem like a recipe for disaster to you?

You are also belittling the mindset of public servants who genuinely do the job for the 'good of the country' rather for money grubbing share holders who see oppurtunities to cut corners and rake in extra cash. Remember I have experience of this and see daily how it works.
