Break it, blame it, privatize it.

Yep - that's the plan. I can't wait until the Wall Street types lose all the money (after they take massive fees) and then say "whoops our bad".

Just want to thank you for calling them what they are…Republicans. Not some euphemism with no real meaning. We really need to link all the evil back to the party label these people represent and will run on during their next election.

We knew this was coming because they told us. Too bad it’s only now that people are waking up. Sad that so many decent folks fell for the con.

It's the same thing red states are doing to education with voucher scams.

Charge it, vote it, spend it, count it, wreck it, cite it, quick un-cite it,

fake it, show it, switch it, scam it, break it, blame it, privatize it

AutocraTIC
AutocraTIC

*sick bass riff*

match it, force it, whip it, meme it, post it, truth it, quick re-truth it

Privatizing government services ONLY extracts a profit from the value of those services.

The value of the services diminishes immediately.

Privatization is the quickest and surest way to make everything WORSE for US citizens.

It’s what the oligarchs did after the fall of the Soviet Union. And we all know how that’s worked out.

Another idiot, court records show: Elon Musk’s aerospace giant SpaceX allows investors from China to buy stakes in the company as long as the funds are routed through the Cayman Islands or other offshore secrecy hubs. So the Chinese Govt owns a huge stake in Space X, and Elon hid it.

Award the contracts to cronies. Competence and accountability won’t matter.

Break what? It's all broken already because of corrupt bastards like you.

IMPEACH IT!

I am appalled that Tennessee Congress is trying to abolish the separate civil rights organization and overturn Biden's LGBTQ rainbow laws. I guess we are turning back our laws to the pre Civil War Era. What's next repeal the Emancipation Proclamation?

Wait times are over 2 hours & the system doesn't even let you wait on hold, it just tells you that wait times are longer than expected, try your call another time 😂 The local office HAD 13 employees, then dwindled down to 7 & if you go in person, wait times are at least 4 hours without an appt.

I've been in and round gov't for 50 years and this whole thing began in 1980 with the election of Reagan. And, as the Republicans know how to play the long game, here we are and Democrats are.... well, missing?

Doing it to USPS too. Didn’t renew contract with FedX air service this year, didn’t tell all the companies relying on USPS either. We’ve been experiencing severe delays and misrouting since. Unbelievable. They (DeJoy parting gifts) are breaking USPS too. Resist privatization across the board.

We did it to medicine.

Go ask a rural red stater how that's working out.

The hosptials are all moving away. Inurance undercuts and denies them constantly. And they have no money to fight it.

And now they're getting about the only lifeliens they had, VA, medicaid and medicare, slashed.

Then every single person who has paid in for years and years should get a check for every penny plus interest to invest on their own.

The mump regime is pure evil on steroids

On the plus side, we seniors are starting to swap cat and dog food recipes.

Turns out you can do great things with kibble...

judemckenna.bsky.social•45 days ago

They’ll blame it on Biden. Biden is the dead horse that keeps on giving.

madaleine.bsky.social•45 days ago

And Obama, let's not forget him 😂

yozootoo.bsky.social•45 days ago

It certainly is, where are the prosecutions for all this “fraud”? I havnt heard of a single person charged and I know of no better proof that they havnt actually found any.

high-upthere.bsky.social•45 days ago

This is there exact plan. I wonder who they added to this private thread?

sophiesophia.bsky.social•45 days ago

Yes, they burn it down. They privatize it and the public says you might as well cause it ain’t worth a shit the way it is. Genius.

mhobart.bsky.social•45 days ago

I like to think that in an alternative universe, the US is refusing to privatize the Treasury and the Post office, and is instead making moves to nationalize Starlink since it should be used for the common good and was substantially subsidized with tax dollars…Such a pleasant daydream…
