Great, because dealing with my private cellular phone, gas, electric, insurance, etc… company is so “efficient”
Once the government services are privatized, is there still a need for a government? Why pay taxes to fund government workers paychecks when there is no government services? So Republican politicians do not want a job in the government. Kinda asinine logic.
Welcome to the communist state of America. Say goodbye to you freedoms or fight back.
This is the goal of the technofeudalists. Privatize everything and turn you into a neo-serf. or put you in jail for being poor.
Everyone that hates China, you might want to consider how well the Chinese are living now compared to you.
What a great way to remove grifters, waste and fraud. Why not let Elon decide all federal contracts to be given
Good, I often worried somebody wasn’t getting rich when i mail something or send an ssa 721 form in. /s
Great! That’s already working so well with health insurance.
It’s what everyone wants. Fees for everything. For profit model. Corners cut. Regulations gutted.
Great example, Steward Health Care.
You voted for it. Enjoy.
I think there’s something to be said that government doesn’t really try and be efficient with tax payer money. Is privatizing everything right solution for everything, no. But just like a private business might outsource its payroll and insurance, because those are not the core competencies of the business, there are things that maybe government shouldn’t own the execution of.
NASA is a great example of where they might handle experimental and pure research but commodity tasks like “go back and forth to ISS”
If this has not been obvious to you since the beginning, I don’t know what to tell you.
Only things that can yield handsome profits would be served then?
Privatisation of government services is just oligarchs looting the public purse while gaslighting the citizens that rely on government services.
Just like Russia.
Third party laize faire – then the third parties hire third parties to build their new gov databases then third parties to run your customer service and everything just sucks as every one cheaps our to make max profits.
Mohela working for Student aid gov did exact this. And it’s taking the money and running as soon as it can get the fed gov to cancel Bush Sr Public Service Loan Forgiveness program. It froze itself 12 months ago and refused to process PLSF just to do this. And it’s third party CSRs can do nothing to fix anything. They just answer the phone and lie.
Let’s be honest: when Elon Musk heads the Department of Government Efficiency and starts laying off thousands of federal workers while floating the idea of privatizing Social Security, USPS, and Amtrak — you’ve got to ask: is this really about efficiency, or is it about shifting public infrastructure into private portfolios?
Social Security might soon look less like a safety net and more like a high-risk investment plan. Will retirees get a stable income, or just some stock options and a chatbot that says “Sorry, market’s down”? And with USPS and Amtrak possibly going the same route — are we aiming for better service, or just fewer routes and higher prices?
Then there’s the part where SpaceX and Starlink — conveniently owned by the same guy running DOGE — are rumored to be picking up federal contracts. Efficiency? Or empire-building?
Look, I get it. Government waste is real. But replacing public services with private monopolies owned by billionaires doesn’t sound like reform — it sounds like a clearance sale on democracy.
If we keep calling this “efficiency,” we might wake up one day with healthcare sponsored by Tesla, pensions managed by Neuralink, and mail delivery based on your social credit score.
Maybe it’s time we ask: who really benefits from this “streamlining”? And what do we — the taxpayers — stand to lose when public services become just another line item in someone’s quarterly report?
Profit for fElon Skum!
Good! Way more effective and efficient to have the free market do a lot of the stuff the government does.
Does “privatization” mean taxes still pay for it or no? Bc if the government ultimately pays the bill, it ain’t really “private,” it’s still public.
