I agree, but you must be alive and under protection first
Agreed.
Heard. And agree with Maeve that education shouldn't be privatized ever. And, also, there's a lot of things that have long been privatized that should be managed as a commons, IMO. Top of mind is energy, the Internet, and social media (really love that the Fediverse is making the latter possible)
All infrastructure really.
Someone call Mario with a tip about where his brother may be kept.

Margaret killjoy has an excellent story featuring a private prison ceo. It is a great end for that guy. Everyone should listen to it.
Wow, thanks, I hate this.
What a tool. Sometimes I struggle to live in a world filled with psychos with no empathy.
At the very least, we shouldn’t be letting them run everything.
