Leaving the care of the vulnerable young and old up to the profit motive
"That process of "marketisation" — where the profit motive is used to regulate relationships between citizens and the state, and citizens and providers of social services, by transforming social relationships into market goods and services — has been applied to everything from education to health, housing, child care, aged care, and employment services... The federal government continues to support for-profit providers through huge childcare subsidies."
"The current system needs fundamental change".

@yianiris pure #libertarianism results in #privatising #power via #oligopoly.
As a #European you should read up on the #barons and the #aristocracy. Note, that whereas some aristocrats were appointed by royalty, others were made noble because they were so "successful" - i.e they were barons sanctioned by the crown.
The barons who hated the crown? Those were the #liberalists. In essence, people like to forget that part of European history because it doesn't suit their ideology or agenda.

The Accountable.US report details donations of at least $1.77m to CUP from #DonorsTrust, a rightwing group not required to reveal the names of its donors.
“A principled philanthropic partner for conservative and libertarian donors” in its own words, but “the right’s dark-money ATM” in the words of Mother Jones magazine, DonorsTrust has links to the #Koch network and Leonard #Leo, two dominant figures in rightwing political funding.
Carrk said: “With extremists like Moore calling the shots, Project 2025 may not have any credibility, but unfortunately they have limitless resources from the dark-money Leonard Leo network to undermine the health and retirement security of millions of Americans.”

‘Extremist’ Trump economist plots rightwing overhaul of US treasury
#Stephen #Moore, a conservative economist whose controversial remarks about women cost him a seat on the Federal Reserve board in 2019, is now co-author of a plan to radically reform the US treasury as part of #Project2025, a vast rightwing effort to advance radical policy proposals for Donald Trump’s possible White House return.
“Project 2025 is all about forcing a far-right agenda on to everyday Americans,” said Tony Carrk, the executive director of the progressive watchdog Accountable.US, which produced an extensive report on Moore’s views and positions.
“So it’s no wonder they tapped a notorious #social #security opponent like Stephen Moore to help write their policy schemes.”
Moore, Carrk said, had “dedicated his career to slashing social security benefits and taxes for billionaires”.
Like other welfare programmes such as Medicare, social security is a longstanding target of the US right but also something of a third rail for politicians of either party, given public support.
Recognising such support, Trump has pledged to “always protect social security” should he return to power.
Moore remains loyal to Trump but in the past has advocated for #privatising social security, which he has called a “Ponzi scheme”, and told students they should march on the Capitol and burn their social security cards.
Moore advocates #mandatory 401k accounts, in place of social security.
He added: “Yes, I am strongly in favor of #cutting tax rates to make [the] American economy No 1.”
By its own description, Project 2025 is the work of “a broad coalition of over 70 conservative organisations”, brought together by the #Heritage #Foundation and aiming to shape the presidential transition should a Republican win election this year.
In the words of #Paul #Dans, its director, Project 2025 aims to prepare “a new army, aligned, trained, and essentially #weaponised conservatives ready to do battle against the deep state”.

The notion that #privatising large public companies like #Qantas, #Telstra, the #CBA, #Medibank and #energy companies to crony #capitalists was ever going to benefit the #Australian public seems so deluded now, given how history has evolved.
Privatising Qantas has to be one of the most flagrant acts of self-harm committed by any Australian government.

"We need to rebuild the #commons. When industries are polluting the atmosphere or the oceans, they are, in fact, #privatising the commons ("considering a #common good as their private trash"). When an industry receives millions in #public #subsidies then make a patent, that industry is privatising the common. When Google is putting the Linux kernel in a phone that cannot be modified easily, Google is privatising the common. Why do we need expensive electric cars? Because the #automotive industry has been on a century-long mission to kill public transport or the sole idea of going on foot, to destroy the commons.
We need to defend our commons."
Very, very much on point, @ploum !

@aral #chatgpt is, by far, the most perfect tool created for #privatising #profits at massively socialised costs -
Tory MPs advocating further #privatising of the #NHS. Guess who's paying them, why it's the very firms that will benefit from right wing privatisation. These rancid Tories have no compassion. https://bit.ly/3FbtQv6 #GeneralElectionNow #ToryCriminalsUnfitToGovern
