This applies to Australia as well.
Necessary services such as energy, telecommunications and postal services should NEVER be privatised ❗️
The government in power sells them to appear to boost the economy, but it’s only a short term fix. After that, it’s unsustainable and pushes prices up.

Reminder that Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024.
This was the widest CEO-to-Worker pay gap in the entire S&P 500.
And we're supposed to believe Starbucks can't afford to bargain a fair contract with its unionized workers?
