John, privatization didn't fix the underinvestment.... £78bn in dividends went out, £60bn in debt came in, sewage ended up in the rivers, and the Monkey's bill climbed 40% anyway, which means that, the Gorilla just changed its jacket and kept right on collecting. 🍌

Not surprising. All high entry barrier perpetually revenue generating businesses with assured orders and assured financing are being given to selected people. Since they actually perform well and do justice to the task assigned every thing else becomes immaterial years later. Instead of a strong public sector we are seeing it being systematically weakened and extinguished. Inefficiency of a public institution vital for strategic interests should not be an excuse to kill it but a challenge to revive it. While ordinarily such privatization may be a very good thing for countries where Regulators are strong and Institutional integrity is intact whether it proves so for India only time will tell. Food for thought.

Apollo is circling GFL while its share price is depressed. A similar scenario played out in 2024 and a privatization was ultimately ruled out - but a major division was sold

The contributions are capped. Murray knows this but has to lie to make her point. I agree that social security needs to be revamped because it is not viable. How about privatization? End the Ponzi scheme and make social security viable.
Carefully examine what these looters are pushing. Elon (@elonmusk) pays the maximum into a system he is forced to fund and will never be repaid for. Social Security was sold as a retirement plan the government would safeguard. It is a Ponzi scheme, running out of money, and now they want the power to seize and redistribute even more. Start with your own dishonesty, Senator. Musk pays the same because the benefit is capped too. The most anyone collects is about $4,200 a month, no matter how much they pay in. The cap on contributions exists because the cap on benefits exists. You know this. You left it out, because the outrage doesn't survive the full sentence. "Scrap the cap" means he pays vastly more and gets nothing additional back. That is not a contribution to his retirement. It is pure confiscation, the mask of "insurance" finally dropped. And notice what you admit by needing his money at all. The system is broke. The Ponzi scheme has reached the stage where it must devour the productive to pay the promises it already can't keep. You are not fixing it. You are feeding more people into a machine you know is failing. Here is the "fair share" you never mention: Musk is the single largest individual taxpayer in human history, funding your government by orders of magnitude more than the electrician you hide behind. He consumes none of it. He built the companies, the jobs, the wealth. His crime, in your eyes, is succeeding. You don't want fairness. You want a producer to rob and a villain to sell. The electrician isn't your concern. He's your prop.

Those who are behind the campaign to destroy our public universal health system are “...closely connected to the Atlas Network, a well-documented, American dark money coalition made up of billionaire ideologues pursuing a libertarian agenda while evading transparency. The Atlas Network claims to fight for “the rights to economic and personal freedom.” They also seek opportunities for their members to profit. The privatization of Canadian Medicare, a $300 billion annual public expenditure, is just such an opportunity.” #cdnpoli #abpoli canadiandimension.com/articl…

Ford crony will VETO the elected 23 members of #Halton Regional Council for privatization of water, ambulance, police & adjust land use planning. "Pushing provincial priorities" means less public consultation & fewer council votes! #onpoli #Burlon #MiltonOn #Oakville #HaltonHills
NEW: Premier Doug Ford’s controversial decision to give “strong” powers to unelected regional chairs is being met with alarm. thestar.com/politics/provinc…

Your family's health is important to me. That's why I'm working to make sure you have access to affordable health care and coverage that helps when you need it and is within reach. How do we do that? Step one: reverse the privatization of Medicaid.

I dont think thats true. I think they see benefits in privatization of government investments like SSI and I'd be inclined to try some proposals. Private Data can and SHOULD be inaccessible to USG. KGJ
Trump, Musk, and 'DOGE' set their sights on Social Security, because they want YOUR MONEY and YOUR DATA.   They're out to slash your earned benefits, take your personal information, and sell it off to the highest bidder on Wall Street.   Their only problem? We stand in their way!

Your position fails to comprehend the plain meaning of the Ohio constitution. If it only accounts for 4% then your admitting to giving them crumbs. Truth: It’s a privatization movement on the cheap. Suggestion: Put it on a statewide ballot. Let people decide!

Dem Socialists will ALWAYS side with Capitalists, privatization & throw actual socialism under the bus. historically it's proven. ALL of our systems are now dictatorships, so at least give me 1 with perks. Housing, education, healthcare & food security. that system is communism.

Profesorze, przecież o to chodzi. Stiglitz już w debacie o transformacji wskazywał i mówił rzecz bliską prof. Kołodce w Polsce. 'Only with strong institutions can liberalization and privatization…' Bez rule of law, konkurencji, nadzoru i prawa kontraktów sama prywatyzacja nie tworzy rynku, tylko transfer własności. Friedman po latach przyznał po cichu 'I was wrong. Joe was right.' Wniosek mamy zatem prosty - instytucje > fetysz prywatyzacji Erhard ujął to samo językiem ordoliberalnym. Rynek działa dopiero w porządku państwa.

The "Aam Aadmi" facade of the Bhagwant Mann government stands completely shattered once again! Punjab Roadways, PUNBUS, and PRTC contract workers have been forced to issue a strict ultimatum of a statewide strike and "Chakka Jam" because the AAP regime has miserably failed to implement its own Labour Day announcement of a pathetic 15% minimum wage hike. It is deeply shameful that while CM Bhagwant Mann rolls out grand announcements for cheap PR, his administration continues to heavily exploit contract workers, stall their regularisation, and brutally suppress their voices by filing police cases and jailing them over the last six months. While decisions favoring private syndicates and privatization are fast-tracked within days, files concerning the genuine welfare of hard-working employees are intentionally delayed and ignored by top officials. If these frustrated employees are pushed to halt the wheels of state transport or declare a 'Punjab Bandh', the daily lives of lakhs of families will be thrown into absolute chaos. Why should the actual common man of Punjab—the daily commuters, struggling students, and middle-class passengers—suffer severe hardships and lose their livelihoods just because of the sheer incompetence, administrative arrogance, and broken promises of the Bhagwant Mann government? #RoadwaysStrike #PunjabTransportCrisis
