    Absolutely. In much the same way that public private partnerships are a giveaway to private interests. Current day government looks to save a few dollars by outsourcing development to a private interest. However, thanks to inflation the money saved is worth less every year, while the actual, real world things which are now owned by some rich asshole are not subject to that same depreciation, and probably even appreciates over time.
