We Should Immediately Nationalize SpaceX and Starlink
(jacobin.com)
And railroads!
And Amazon!
And healthcare!
Noooo you can't do that it'd be socialism! Which, as everyone knows, leads to the end of private property and therefore to nationalizing toothbrushes. How would YOU like to have to share your toothbrush?
Noooooo let's pretend to ignore Marx's definition of property types and be scared of having to share our underwear nooooooooooooo
OMG underwear too? Those monsters! ๐ฑ ๐ฑ ๐ฑ
We must also all share one toothbrush.
And my axe!
And railroads to those Amazon warehouses
And interstate bus companies!
Didn't they already try with Conrail?
Conrail should have continued as the government owning the rail and letting the other railroads use the track. As in, Amtrak should have been the rolling stock, and Conrail should have been the rail. It was not a nationwide railroad, but that owning it was the right thing to do. Selling it was the wrong thing to do. The government is constantly spending money with the railroads to maintain the rail and do upgrades.
You have no idea how much I raged when I learned how much those stupid fucking starlink satellites will do to the ozone I even remember asking myself if polluting LEO with hundreds of satellites made of aluminium would have an effect of the ozone layer turns out a huge one
