neoliberalism - any state run organisation, that can be run for profit is privatised. Profits are not reinvested they are bled off until the org is bankrupt then it is taken back into public ownership so the taxpayers pay for the restoration.

This guy is a moron. He kills innocent people in International waters, sends troops to harass democrat towns and cities, pretends to end wars which he is directly involved in, in relation to Gaza, and he has failed to stop genocide in Gaza and creeping ethnic cleansing in the west bank.
