more fraud in the state whose laws are designed to make it easy to commit fraud: #Wyoming (represented by #CynthiaLummis, the American senate's bitcoin broette-in-chief)
@entertainer Kann mir eine*r Beispiele nennen, was nach einer Privatisierung auf lange Sicht, in Produkt, Servicequalität, Qualität, Verfügbarkeit, Verbraucherschutz und Preis für Bürger*innen besser geworden ist? Mir ist nix bekannt. Zudem werden gut bezahlte Jobs zurückgebaut, Ausbildungseinrichtungen zerstört und weniger ausgebildet. Dafür bereichert sich dann die "upperclass" nur noch mehr am Staatshaushalt. #ppp #publicpaysprice
The turmoil in South Korean politics continues as opposition leader Lee Jae-myung pushes for President Yoon Suk Yeol's impeachment to prevent his own criminal convictions from disqualifying him from the presidency https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2024/12/30/world/south-koreas-impeachment-saga/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #worldnews #leejaemyung #dp #ppp #southkorea #handucksoo #yoonsukyeol

Université Paris Cité va construire un centre hospitalo universitaire à Saint-Ouen en PPP (partenariat Public Privé) le genre de projet de merde qui permet aux oppérateurs privés de se gaver de pognon public pour rien.
C'est pas comme si dans cette université on n'avait pas déjà un historique avec les PPP, au point d'avoir un bâtiment où on est obligé de limiter le nombre d'étudiants parce que les sols ne peuvent pas supporter trop de monde
"#Labour has shown little sign of changing the current model where critical infrastructure is provided by private firms. Many of these companies have shunned investment for the past three decades, while ramping up dividends, buybacks and executive pay."
if you ever find yourself wondering "how did crypto bros get all this money to try to take over the government?" a big part of the answer is "the government gave it to them in the form of covid stimulus and PPP loans".
the crypto industry alone is now responsible for roughly half of all corporate money attempting to influence the election. you'd never know it though because their campaigns never mention crypto.

There are a few notable examples in Australia where public hospitals have been privatised or handed over to private operators after significant public investment. These deals often raise concerns about whether the public is getting fair value, given that millions of taxpayer dollars were spent on their construction or maintenance before being transferred for minimal costs. Some examples include:
1. LaTrobe Regional Hospital (Victoria): In the 1990s, LaTrobe Hospital was privatised as part of Victoria’s push towards privatisation under the Kennett government. The hospital was later returned to public management after the private operator faced financial difficulties, leading to criticism that privatisation resulted in poor outcomes without cost savings.
2. Port Macquarie Base Hospital (NSW): This is one of the most infamous examples. In the mid-1990s, the NSW government spent around $60 million of public money to build the hospital, then sold it to a private operator for just $1. This was highly controversial because taxpayers essentially paid to build the facility, and then it was handed over at a nominal cost to a private company. Years later, after public dissatisfaction with the private management, the government bought the hospital back, spending even more public funds to do so.
3. Royal North Shore Hospital (NSW): While this hospital wasn’t sold outright, in 2007, the New South Wales government entered into a public-private partnership (PPP) for the redevelopment of Royal North Shore Hospital. The project led to concerns that public money was used to fund expensive private contracts, with the risk of long-term financial strain on the public sector.
These examples highlight the issue of public assets being sold or leased to private companies at minimal cost, often after significant public investment, leading to public backlash over whether the deals truly benefit taxpayers. Such sales can result in reduced accountability and sometimes poorer service outcomes when cost-cutting becomes the private operator's priority.

Zwei hundert dreißig *Milliarden* US Dollar.
Just spent 2 days in Strasbourg at the latest @prepostprint event with the kindest people :)
Huge thanks >> @timotheegoguely + Victor H. for organizing and generally everyone the generosity of contributions and warmth of conversations I felt!
This PPPerma-publishing was accompanied in spirits by the important words of @320x320 + @automatist on permacomputing. We also had to talk about #lowtechmagazine website.
Leaving Strasbourg full of Bretzels (literally) and inspiration
a+++ merci <3
First *real* benefit on the way to #IPv6only!
Back when I setup my #asterisk, my #ISP didn't let me register unless I used an address obtained from the ISP. I'm using tunneled #IPv6 (HE tunnelbroker) for reasons, so, this forced me to use #SIP via #IPv4.
I just rechecked: registration now works just fine from any address! Things I could remove:
- some hacky scripting to place my public IPv4 address into asterisk's config, by having #ppp call a script remotely via ssh
- two pf rdr (redirect) rules to route all sip/rtp traffic arriving on the public v4 address towards my host running asterisk.
Yeah, exactly what I hoped for, simplifying network setup step by step.

@tagesschau Das passiert, wenn man Staatseigentum (also irgendwie unser aller Eigentum ) privatisiert & an die Börse bringt. Genau das wird auch mit "unseren Renten" passieren, wenn sie erst einmal durch den Kapitalmarkt genudelt wurden. PPP - Public Pays Price.
Wir zahlen und erhalten einfach keine Gegenleistung mehr.
Und wenn der Wert ausgewrungen ist, geht es einfach auf einen anderen Markt.
OFC, students, aka #US citizens, using their #1A right to protest do not belong in jail, unless they were committing a crime, e.g. #trespasing, threatening other people, etc.
/s: However, if the #MAGA/#GOP view of ä #Jan6 is the yardstick, the student protests are an utterly peaceful assembly of students./s
If I were a #Republican, I'd keep my mouth shut about these student protests...Anything you say can and will be used...
