Keep this in kind whenever you're tempted to call anyone who has been a member of the Liberal party in the 21st century "moderate". They are all radical reactionaries. They are the extremists.

3. Because this is an essential service, we have no choice but to pay for it. The monopoly has us over a barrel. It can therefore charge “entry fees” (also known rents) over and above the costs of delivering the service. It’s a form of coercive private taxation.

How privatisation works (and Thames Water is just the latest example). 1. A government takes a national asset built up with taxpayers' money and the work of public servants over many years, and hands it, for a fraction of its value, to a private company. 2. In doing so, it creates a monopoly. 🧵

We will never out republican republicans. Democrats should be the party that helps people- and starts with those struggling the most for the common good. Anyone missing this point should be fired from “strategizing” for the party.

I once turned down an interview on 2GB to talk about Don Bradman because earlier in the day Alan Jones used *the* slur on air. Probably for the best, not sure that audience wants to hear my opinions on Don Bradman.
