And a reminder that to the current right-wing establishment, "privatization" isnt even actual privatization.
Actual privatization would be the government divesting itself of authority over and responsibility for some service, and thereby turning it over to the private sector.
But current American "privatization" is a wholly corrupt and destructive hybrid process by which the government still funds the service, and the only thing that changes is that instead of the money being given to a government agency, it's given to whichever private contractor offers the best bribe and kickback program.
