    Privatised fucking everything needs to stop.
    If is a necessary function, like aged care, public transport, education, roadways, electricity, water, health care etc etc etc

    Profit motive means profits are syphoned to owners not plowed back or used by authorities.

    Prices creep up and what was deceitfully sold as "more efficient" by corrupt politicians becomes minimum-effort, inefficient and after initial "competition" reverts back to a monopoly or a cartel.

  17. High costs and unreliable #deliveries for #parcels in Shetland, report finds

    Consumer #Scotland has published a report into its findings in #Shetland, #Orkney and the #WesternIsles, saying #islanders faced “high #postal costs” and “inconsistent services”.
