"government engineered" ????
"dysfunctional business model"
Sounds like someone is looking for a new "revenue stream"!
This sounds suspiciously like the "lease a car" vs "rent a car" debate. Change the looks of the same old clunker to "generate sales" without really improving anything.
Feudal Europe had the royalty owning the land and peasents only "rented" it.
