Just as the end of Nazism did not extinguish all Nazis, the end of Apartheid did not extinguish all white supremacists. They left South Africa and spread around the world. But I never expected that one would gain control of the United States.

Research shows privatisation =

❌ Reduced staffing levels
❌ Higher infection rates
A Lancet Public Health study found privatisation worsens outcomes.

Outsourcing has also been linked to higher mortality.
