I'll believe the US will nationalize a private industry when I see it and then I still won't believe it.
The GOP would shit themselves
Not technically "nationalized", but we gave local and state governments control over sewers and water...
Well the internet is also a series of tubes so this logic plays out.
When?
Around the latter half of the 19th century https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_privatization_in_the_United_States
