  2. 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!!

  4. 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

  5. Entrepreneurship, #innovation, and #technologyadoption are key to #economicgrowth in Europe and Central Asia [Promoted content]: #Economicgrowth in the middle-income countries of Europe and Central Asia has slowed since the early 2000s due to global challenges and insufficient structural reforms. Countries need to foster a dynamic #privatesector by attracting global technology, expertise, and capital, supporting young innovative companies, and investing in human capital. euractiv.com/section/economy-j

  8. @pvonhellermannn don’t trust the #privateSector with optimising for the environment. They can maximally be expected to optimise for selling #greenness. We have to expect, the private sector will ignore all environmental implications they can get away with, i.e. externalise as much as possible within any #internalisation project. #EnvironmentalEconomics

  10. Hmmm... what's going on around #teeside?

    For a third time the #Tory mayor of Tees Valley has been caught (this time via leak to FT) transferring public property to the development corporation he chairs without any scrutiny of the transfer lists or agreements.

    Already there is an investigation being launched but given the prospective use by the #privatesector through the development corp., this (at the moment) looks a lot like a corrupt theft of publicly funded assets;

    more #Torycorruption?
