I've seen equal or worse inefficiencies in the private sector.

While the root causes may be different, a badly managed organization is the same whether it is public or private.

Yes, but the private sector is more willing to restructure in order to become profitable; I never saw a single case of restructuring in 13 years. Instead people were promoted or moved to other roles in the few cases changes happened.

While their are also massive inefficiencies in the private sector, the public sector does not have the same ability to fail. Those private companies need to be efficient enough to avoid bankruptcy.

Note that some of the private sector can't fail now either.
