Firstly, the profit incentive is absolutely alive and well in nationalized industries.

You think NASA employees work for free?

But to the point, it sounds like you're trying to have it both ways, saying the industry is already under the control of the federal government--just look at how badly the feds have screwed it up--but what we need now is to put it under the control of the federal government--they'll fix these problems.

No, I'd say the examples you've given here are great examples of why we SHOULDN'T nationalize the industry.

Trump removed regulations and Biden forced people to work, and that's through the regulatory and processes. Imagine what harm they'd do with direct command of the organizations.
