  1. 1 Allowing a #privatesector #pipeline to proceed would have confirmed that there was at least a perceived #economic rationale for it. Making #TransMountain the key player suggests there wasn’t one, that the project is driving by an #ideology that prioritizes #fossilfuels as an #energy source. 🧵

  3. This new book explains why your elderly parents’ retirement home, the nursery where you drop your children, or the company that pipes water into your kitchen is taken over by an increasingly intricate and deregulated industry.

    If a private equity fund is "buying something using a lot a debt, [then] all of that debt is loaded onto the company that the private equity fund has acquired."
    "Private equity has moved into care homes, housing, water, nurseries and other essential services."
    "We have the power for it to be done otherwise."

    The White House is shaking up the offensive cyber market by bringing more private companies into the fold, sparking crucial questions about who should be building and using digital weapons, and under what rules. As the lines between industry players blur, one thing is clear: the rules of engagement for this rapidly evolving…

  12. A quotation from William O. Douglas

    Big Brother in the form of an increasingly powerful government and in an increasingly powerful private sector will pile the records high with reasons why privacy should give way to national security, to law and order, to efficiency of operations, to scientific advancement, and the like.

    William O. Douglas (1898–1980) American jurist, US Supreme Court justice (1939–75)
    Points of Rebellion, ch. 1 “How America Views Dissent” (1969)

    Also true. The fetish for the private sector!! 🤑Why can’t we move on? Time & time again we learn through bad experience that the private sector provision of essential goods & especially services, has to be regulated, monitored, & experience consequences when it does the wrong thing. Perhaps when all that is added together, in some ‘Social Economics’ or ‘cost benefit analysis’ that actually includes all the externalities, it will be found to be a more effective use of public monies to offer services through public sector structures. 🤔

    Oooo now I feel I’m ranting!!

  16. Saw a post on LI moaning about #integrity in the #publicsector, as if it was an isolated issue. Let's stop pretending integrity is a public or #privatesector issue. It's #cultural. No one is willing to honestly address it. Not cause it's hard, but integrity & #accountability are a threat to everyone holding a #leadership role. If we took the issue serious, most leaders would be put of a job & have a tough time finding new employment. That applies to all leaders, no matter if public or private.

  21. Inside story #PrivateSector feasting on #Scotland's #nationalised #trains

    The notion Scotland’s #railways are fully nationalised is a mirage

    #Scottish Government taken over ScotRail, but the trains are leased from private sector at eye-watering cost

    An obscene 25% of every ticket sold goes to private companies leasing rolling stock

    #ScotRail needs to replace 69 trains

    Abandoning the leasing system would save £362 million
