Pro tip: don’t privatise infrastructure. In fact don’t privatise shit.

Privatise bullshit. Churches, shady research startups, kerosene etc.

Fucking PostNord.

I wonder who got bribed to pass this?

PostNord has always been shit. Here in Sweden they decided to go over to an every other day mail delivery, while also giving the CEO a massive raise. Is rotten to the core.

That’s what happens when you privatise critical infrastructure. Nothing is free from enshittification.

Happens everytime. And every time you'll find friends of politicians getting richer off of this.

I'm curious now whether I've ever been considered a 'precarious' employee, and what I'd have to do to make it so.
