Access to #Energy is a #HumanRight which has been #Privatised (aka #StateCapture ) and nothing that might be done about #Usury and #Greed in this regard can be done without drastic changes to the systems in place. Revolution folks… or get off the grid if you can, while you can. -

Hold a referendum to bring the #water industry into #PublicOwnership
Hold a binding national #referendum on whether the water industry should be returned to public ownership.
Water is a basic human necessity; we believe our #privatised system has failed, so the public should decide who owns and controls it.

#Privatisation: billions from #UK #energy #bills taken in profits
Common Wealth thinktank found 24.2% of energy bill went to profits of electricity generators, networks, household suppliers in 2024
Also revealed: Scale of cash extracted from bill payers since privatisation of #UK’s energy system
Shareholders of #Britain’s #privatised energy corporations took over £70.7bn #payouts between 2010 & 2025, rather than #reinvesting or reducing bills

I could say productivity declined because the government(s) #privatised essential services.
We didn’t have any problems with #productivity until they did that.
The lack of efficiency and the throwing of public money to groups who didn’t provide a better service but instead paid it to CEOs and owners is what a lack of productivity is all about.
#ai is just going to be an extension of this mess.

As the economy slows and productivity flatlines, is Australia having another banana republic moment?

So #Trump just #privatised the #dollar.
#GENIUSact allows stablecoins to take over what you can get for it, and the control is now in the hands of big tech.
Together with CLARITY, money laundering & bribery will increasingly define the dollar’s worth, too. And when #crypto crashes the dollar will go down with it.
But the rich will be very happy about it. They will finally get their poor domestic serf class, as cheap as chinese labour.
Trump did everything he promised. That’s how it’ll look.

Blaming #privatised #water for #sewage dumping? Here is a 1976 article from when it was in public hands. https://archive.org/details/NewsUK1978UKEnglish/Jan%2017%201978%2C%20The%20Times%2C%20%2360212%2C%20UK%20%28en%29/page/n15/mode/2up?q=pollution+sewage
A form of #pollution that is less obvious — until the moment when, swimming at sea, we are confronted by a sheet of lavatory paper—is sewage. The Coastal Anti-Pollution League considers it a “disgusting state of affairs” that a large number of sea side towns dispose of their untreated sewage far too close to land.

@mlanger
Back in the 80s all our (UK) #government run #water #companies were #privatised, thanks to right wing government dogma. The government then set up a regulator whose function was primarily to keep prices low. Of course, that didn't stop the companies paying out enormous dividends, but it did stop any investment to update the infrastructure,The result is that, now there is some recognition that #climatechange is real, we have near bankrupt companies and #infrastructure not fit for purpose. It's not that we need the existing infrastructure repaired we need more #reservoirs and #pipelines to shift it where it's needed.
I wish there was someone who could tell me I have this wrong?

#UK starts to #nationalise more #rail #services
"Rail #nationalisation is #popular with the #British #public. Surveys by polling company YouGov show more than two thirds of people support the policy, while fewer than one in eight oppose it.. #Trainservices in #Britain were #privatised in the 1990s.. nationalisation would clamp down on “unacceptable levels of #delays, #cancellations and #waste seen under decades of #failing #franchise contracts”"

Dear Ofwat: don’t let #Thames dodge its fines, take back its licence instead
Do you think privatised #utilities should be allowed to regulate themselves?
#Ofwat does! It is consulting on plans to accept #ThamesWater’s proposals for a “turnaround plan” instead of fining them £250 MILLION for breaking the terms of their licence
When #privatised services fail to meet their contracts, they should lose them. They fire their employees for less.

Thames’s operating company, which is ringfenced by the regulator so it can continue even if #Kemble collapses, is labouring under debts of almost £15bn, making it #Britain’s most indebted #WaterCompany. It was #privatised in 1989 with no debt.

The real kicker for every person in #Australia who values their basic #privacy (ie. hiding their #IPAddress with #TorBrowser) is #MyGov is decrypted by #Akamai.Yes, a US multinational (spin-off of #Microsoft during the 1990s) is a Man-in-the-middle-attack-(#MITM)-as-a-Service, between you and intimate #health and #employment services.
Oh and prior to the #covidCrisis the #landRegistries in most states were #privatised.

Is it just me? Does anyone else see #misogyny in the Lucy Letby trial? I understand that what this young woman did was horrific and premeditated, but at no point in the press have I seen any suggestion that she might be ill, or that she might be scapegoated for failures in an increasingly #privatised #nhs where profits win over care, and concerns expressed by team members are ignored because the public NHS will bear the costs of claims of malpractice while private healthcare profits.

Even before the effects of #ClimateChange hit, the system was pushed to the brink. While people have been extracting water, privatised water companies have been extracting money (and not investing much, if at all).
"In the 30 years since England’s #water was #privatised by Margaret Thatcher, water companies have set up a system in which billions of pounds leave the network in an average year."

#water.... the major issue of the new millennium:
in the UK we have a problem of #pollution compounded by leaks & dilapidated #infrastructure;
In southern #Europe the persistent #drought, caused by #climatechange & again compounded by leaks is about shortages of water;
periodically, across the world, suddenly there is too much water & #flooding ensues....
We need answers to these issue if we are to survive & let me tell you #privatised water provision is not going to deliver anything useful

Privatised services are more efficient, they said. And cheaper, they said. ( #Thatcher and her #Tories )
No. #Privatised services are worse and would fail but are propped up by public money, then they take their ludicrously high profits #offshore.
It's like sticking a vacuum cleaner nozzle in the middle of the #economy.

If #privatised infrastructure gets #hacked, #managment would need to be replaced and the #infrastructure should be returned to public hands, or get broken up.
Similar to how #banks collapsing or creating extreme instability should be dealt with.

In a most disgusting display of #corporateState takeover we may have seen in our lifetime.
Almost all our #LandTitle registries have been #privatised. This means #corporations know who owns what #land.
When we were on #Fakebook we fought against the #privatisation.
Since 2016, state govts across #Australia have privatised, one of the most important #naturalMonopoly services in the country. All those elected officials who did this should be imprisoned for #treason against #ThePeople.
