Federal marshals forced entry into the US African Development Foundation and escorted Musk staffers inside, after agency employees resisted their entry. Once inside, they changed the federal agency’s locks. Musk staffers were seen plugging in an external hard drive and going through everything.

The role of government is not to maximize profits. It’s to serve the people. The greedy businessmen y’all keep putting in charge have no concept of that.
If everything was about profit you wouldn’t have roads and electricity in rural TN. (It’s why many don’t have broadband)

This is their goal. Privatize everything.
And by “privatize” we mean steer billions to themselves and their friends, ending programs that serve those with the least under the guise of “efficiency”.
Rural areas will suffer. Prices will rise.

“We guard against unnecessary care”
United CEO Andrew Witty gave an address to the company today (leaked to me), telling employees "we guard against...unnecessary care" and that "There are very few people in the history of the U. S. healthcare industry who had a bigger positive effect on American healthcare than Brian [Thompson]."
