@sjw we’ve been running our countries here in Europe like this for decades, and it worked fine, but something has changed.
@mangeurdenuage yip, in germany nearly everything got privatized and turned to shit. hospitals (pay for everything except getting patched together to return to work), trains (more expensive, always late), postal service (no post offices anymore, only integrated desks into other stores).

@mangeurdenuage well, _someone_ has to pay pfizer ;)

Same here. Stamps are going to get an 30% cost increase in a week or two.
Trains cost so much that I can't even pay to go to Lyon (250 euros) with a car it would cost less to do so.
Even better their closing more and more maintenance turntables to "reduce cost" they'll also reduce the amount of maintenance on rails and trains too, as if the dead we had in the past years weren't enough, oh wait they never publicly told that the reason the past accidents happened was because on maintenance cost reduction.
