yeah alright sure: maybe SOME people will get hurt and SOME people will die, I get it. But now just imagine, if you will: the fabulous wealth and PROFIT generated for our shareholder and stakeholders by exactly just such a scenario! People, (human beings that is) are replaceable, quarterly earnings reports are NOT!!

All we need is a bit of election fraud here, some regulatory capture there and... voila! As long as the long term profits (for a few) out pace the short term investment(everyone else), than who cares?!

Whats goiong on tik tok and insta and roblox??

Anyone who questions us, well call them communist antifa and throw them in jail. which jail you ask? NOBODY KNOWS!!! ITS DEMOCRACY.

i mean /s? really tho?

Privatizing anything in the west leads to paying more for less and worse service. Always. I don't even know if there is an exception to that rule.

The sole exception was local trash pickup if I am not mistaken. But even then there was so much competition at one point that they just go in one another's way.

But if you don’t some poor venture capitalist’s children will go to bed without their third yacht. You don’t hate children that much do you?
