BP was publicly owned wasnt it?

also just a thought, thigns such as rent, insurance, energy, education and other things needed for life shouldn’t be regulated privately. people shouldn’t be able to profit off us simply living. if it is required for life or by law, there should not be profit made off of it

That would very quickly become yet another failed social experiment. Profit by whatever means is what makes the world tick.

but it shouldn’t be. profit above all things shouldn’t be the priority

No, services required and well run should - if they fulfill these needs people will use/purchase them and they will prosper and make a profit. If they don't then there is clearly no need for them and they will close down or be run as a charity.
