I don&#x27;t think it&#x27;s the government per se thinking that; they&#x27;d probably be happy for someone else to take care of the problem for them, especially if that someone can do it well.<p>But <i>people</i>, on the other hand, well, that&#x27;s a different thing. Copenhagen interpretation of ethics is strong in all cultures. The thought that someone is making money on helping is unbearable to many, <i>even if</i> there is no comparable non-profit alternative.
