Privatization of public services ALWAYS costs taxpayers more. A corporation's goal is PROFIT never affordable and high-quality care for everyone, bc that's not a profitable business model and their shareholders would never allow it

It’s just Trump saying he’s going to dismantle an agency so he can take it private, profit off of it, and create an inefficient bureaucracy.
Rinse and repeat.

WAGE isn’t in a funding crisis—it has a design flaw

The Subway Is Not Scary
Fear of the subway is a mark of low moral character.

It starts by cutting social spending, villainizing the poor and public workers to deflect blame, then opening the gates to corporate heroes who will purportedly save the day. #Opinion
