Remarkable how CCS crumbles whenever it's held to any sort of real performance standard

A Tesla executive is leading Australia’s R&D review. That’s not OK. Public roles should serve the people – not billionaires. Add your name to demand Denholm’s resignation and new integrity laws: getup.to/JNamyi7Cqloca

I’ve lived my entire life hearing people argue in favor of privatization. I have yet to see privatization make anything better. The only thing privatization accomplishes is to remove accountability.
I don't want to start a thing so I'll just say that there will never be a good argument for privatizing USPS. That would be like privatizing libraries. The aim of services isn't to be run for profit, they are for serving the greater good, which USPS has been extremely successful at.
