Wait until you see who invests in charter schools and realize there are lobbyists actively working to destroy public education for profit. There’s a reason why some things should not be privatized.

Charter lobby still paying for influence

Yup. It’s gross.

Same with trying to dismantle USPS or privatize parts of the military, or even NASA.

These things were setup as public institutions for very clear reasons. To avoid profit being the primary goal rather than achieving objectives and to ensure public has input and accountability.

These institutions were setup that way to prevent profiteering, and now they’re being modified to allow political donors to fill their wallets.

Profit shouldn’t be the motive. The finances these things should be worried about is getting the most out of their budget, avoiding overruns, and demonstrating results.
