Anyone seriously making the case that privatization leads to efficiency at this late date deserves the wall. If your cost-saving plan is to add a middle man, or to sell off something you own so you can rent it back indefinitely, the only options for you are the re-education camp or the log chipper.
Nobody is this stupid. These claims are made with purely malicious intent.
I remember getting emails from DOGE while I worked at a government agency, encouraging all of us to quit and be productive members of society by joining the private sector.
I got fired by Meelon and joined the private sector; people are really running around pretending to do work here, and smiling through their teeth. Psychotic bullshit is the correct description of what goes on in the private sector.
You underestimate Liberalism. These people will LITERALLY deny reality. No amount of evidence will sway them. Like canadian libs will claim canada is the best country in the world and all the reasons they give arent true. But pointing out that will do nothing. They will just keep claiming it, "well, I think so."
Ideology is a fuck. Most people live following the path laid out for them by their society/culture. I hate saying this, but most people dont think all that much, just go along with their cultural conditioning.
Any Canadian who thinks Canada is the best country in the world is delusional. No matter what metric or point of view you measure from, we dont come out on top in any category. We're B tier
And declining
Yep the
onguardforthee libs were torn over if it was a good idea or a great idea. Because carney just keeps on winning in their eyes.
The propaganda works. Ordinary folks can hear this shit and think it is plausible. I'm talking about the politicians and pundits specifically. Your friends and family might repeat something like this because they heard it on CNN or NPR, but the lanyard demon on NPR who said it is a mercenary who knows exactly what they're doing.
