Sustainably Social, Profitably Pragmatic

Astoundingly enough considering the pure and pristine conduct of the profteering sector in every other enterprise from moisture provision through infantine shelf-stacker training to the fair and above-board purchase of Government ministers, it seems that entrepreneurial involvement in social care has been carried out in accordance with priorities somewhat other than the dignity and welfare of social expendables. In the past dozen years, ninety-eight per cent of adult warehouses and ninety per cent of children's warehouses which have been closed for endangering their inmates were run by private companies. What can be the explanation? On the bright side, market forces have also ensured that homes for the elderly are concentrated where firms can exploit wealthy residents, while homes for children are concentrated where firms can exploit low property prices, leading to ever more incentives for vulnerable children and non-wealthy wrinklies to work hard and play by the rules.
