“Free marketers” laud the efficiency of corporations over the inefficiency of government. I think there is no difference between the forms. What it depends on is management. A good mayor or governor can get some great things done. A lousy CEO or low-level corporate manager can make a real mess of things, such a mess as to cause death or injury.
What follows are my notes in trying to navigate vanguard.com to find a report that I was told today was available.
Vanguard site navigation
You sent me email that I had a report for Vanguard High-Yield Corporate Fund Admiral Shares Report, but you provide no direct link to it. I finally reread the message and find that there is a link to Fund Reports.
I clicked on that but did not find Vanguard High-Yield Corporate Fund Admiral Shares listed!
Oh, there is a little drop-down box in the upper right corner that toggles between regular and admiral shares.
I toggle to admiral and then I get "Please wait". I waited! I went downstairs to get a snack! I came back! The "Please wait" box was still present. I did something or another and got a page that asked me to log in. But I already had a page up that had me logged in! I am using that page, without logging in again, to send this message.
Off to try to get back to where I was ten or fifteen minutes ago.

Downloaded report, but Vanguard was unhappy with my Adobe Reader XI. Report would not open, damaged. Version is 11.0.17, undated. Finder gives date modified as 2016Aug 5. Checking for updates gives “Already up to date”.
