... If our #health care was #privatized, this wouldn’t happen. The #Doctors and #Nurses would have to make their own way, or not, with resulting possible #shortages of staff in the #hospitals.
This situation high-lights yet another reason why it’s vital that we keep the #NHS as a National Health Service.

Back when #DOGE starting firing thousands for no reason, I explained to a friend:"They're trying to prove we don't need government, and for the few things we DO need government for, those things can be #Privatized."
When they #Shutdown the government, I made the point again.
Defunding medical research is just the latest extension of this extreme RW push to #privatize everything. 🤬
Seen thru that lens, it all starts to make sense.

What happens if #Amtrak gets #privatized?

@lauren @lauren That is what they want. Since every public service will be privatized, work and workplaces will be unregulated.

#Amtrak CEO Stephen Gardner is stepping down after #DOGE leader #ElonMusk called for the #transit service to be #privatized.
Amtrak, also known as the National Railroad Passenger Corporation, is the national passenger #rail service for the #US. It is nationally chartered, meaning the federal government is the majority stockholder. It also means Amtrak board members are nominated by the president & confirmed by the Senate.

The Xenophobic #RacistInChief's extreme anti-#immigration policies have created a lucrative new industry of building/running #privatized ICE Detention Centers (born out of the Private #Prison Industrial Complex.)Everything that was always a "gov't only" service is being privatized. Private armies. Private prisons. Etc.
I FIRST NOTICED UNDER BUSH when they privatized laundry & food services for troops in Iraq. #AndTheGriftGoesOn

#Policy and #Law being captured through #lobbying to promote the will of the investors above the will of the people just makes for #privatized #aristocracy at this point.
It's not about democracy or law, but to game it and the constituency along with it in order to inject sweet, sweet #capital directly into the groin.
The body harmed being mother #earth, as the #petroleum and #oil industry have so aptly proven. For how many decades have they manipulated narratives to lie about #climatechange?

" In this conversation with RevDem editor Ferenc Laczó, Ben Tarnoff – author of the new book #Internet for the #People. The Fight for Our #Digital #Future – discusses how the internet was created and how it has been #privatized; how its current version fuels #inequality and the #rise of the #political #Right; why finding the right metaphors is crucial; and why the ongoing anti-monopoly push is not enough. ... https://revdem.ceu.edu/2022/10/26/why-waste-our-data-in-online-malls-ben-tarnoff-on-democratizing-the-internet/ ".

Update. "The #Trump administration and Elon #Musk are reportedly taking aim at #NOAA, the agency responsible for the National Weather Service and many other crucial functions."
https://www.fastcompany.com/91274927/trump-wants-to-dismantle-the-agency-that-provides-weather-forecasts-it-will-make-your-life-worse"#Project2025 specifically noted NOAA as a target, as well. The Heritage Foundation’s 900-page right-wing playbook called the agency “one of the main drivers of the #climate change alarm industry” and recommended it be “dismantled and many of its functions eliminated” and instead #privatized. It’s not clear what that would look like, though experts have said it isn’t a good idea—and that private weather companies wouldn’t even want that change because they’d have to bear the cost of collecting weather data that’s currently given to them for free."

@libya Communities in #peripheral areas are disproportionately excluded from public sector opportunities compared to coastal cities like Tripoli, Misrata, and Benghazi. Public services across sectors, including healthcare and education, keep deteriorating, with more tribal and political biases in hiring as well as the recent rise of #privatized management of state assets further undermining socio-economic balance.

#Medicare #Advantage
#GOP #privatized #HealthcareNow, Republicans are saying that if they retake the White House they will change the Medicare rules so that people newly turning 65 will enroll by default into Medicare Advantage rather than real, traditional Medicare.
With real Medicare, if your doctor says you need a test or procedure, you get the test or procedure.
No questions, no delays, no hassles.
No pre-approvals.With Medicare Advantage, though, because it’s run through giant insurance companies who have to figure out a way to skim billions off to top to satisfy their shareholders, virtually everything you do will require pre-approval by your insurance company.

A right-wing coalition that's been laying the policy groundwork for another Trump presidency has developed a plan to further #privatize #Medicare by making
👉fraud-riddled Medicare Advantage "the default enrollment option" for newly eligible beneficiaries.The plan, highlighted Monday by Rolling Stone's Andrew Perez, is outlined about halfway through #Project2025's 920-page playbook for the first six months of a conservative presidency
Republican administrations and right-wing groups have long advocated funneling people who are newly eligible for Medicare into #Medicare #Advantage plans, which are funded by the federal government and run by for-profit insurers.
. As Perez noted, "Last year, for the first time ever, a majority of Americans eligible for Medicare were on #privatized Medicare Advantage plans."
"If Republicans win the presidential race this year," he wrote, "the push to fully privatize Medicare, the government health insurance program for seniors and people with disabilities, will only intensify."
Every year, new and existing Medicare recipients have an opportunity to enroll in Medicare Advantage plans, which engage in aggressive and often highly deceptive advertising practices to lure seniors who are often seeking out benefits not currently offered by traditional Medicare, such as vision and dental care.
"Donald Trump and his MAGA Republican cronies plan to totally privatize Medicare if they win in November's election."

Here we go, it’s that time of the year & the marketing of options for upper secondary level fill postboxes. But not everywhere and not addressed to everyone …
This is the #Swedish #schoolchoice model, #privatized and selective. Only profitable students are welcome:

Boushey Square annoys me every summer. This "public" square is leased by a restaurant that only uses it for dinner service and it remains chained off the rest of the day.

"Finding out that the #Nazis #privatized #industry at a time in which such a thing was unheard of until decades later with #neoliberalism has had my brain on fire. I already knew #fascism was #capitalist but this is the most capitalist.
as mussolini himself said #corporatism is more accurate name for fascism.
“No other country in the world would privatize its public works until the Nazis in #Germany did it between 1934 and 1937, a rhetorically useful #factoid if ever you are caught in a discussion with someone claiming that the Nazis were #socialists.”

CW: outrage about a newspaper story about healthcare when you have a rare disease
If you or I get a rare disease under #privatized #HealthCare, you or I will probably die.
Most of us simply don't have this lady's ability to work a bureaucracy.
I wish you could read this paywalled #WaPo piece about the evil, soulless fuckers at #Aetna.
Nationalize the shit out of these guys.
I try not to let this sort of thing get under my radar, but OOH!

CW: rant, copyright
The least everyone can do, as usual, is not to parrot the #doublespeak.
Calling #gatekeepers "publishers" is asshole capitalist bullshit.
A result that's behind a paywall and artificially hidden from the public is clearly not "#published":
It's #privatized.
Meanwhile, #scihub is currently at sci-hub.se.

A propos huge corpus:
Personally I think the way these huge datasets are sourced should pose much more embarassing questions about #intellectual #property than either intelligence or consciousness ...
Considering that these consist of large amounts of human utterances that were clearly never meant to be #privatized and mined this way.
