Tax subsidies HERE euphemistically called public-private partnerships!
US, Dis-united Suckers and Assholes, GOVERNMENT, TAXPAYERS, ALWAYS become payers of last, or, first, resort, rescuing PRIVATE CAPITAL from THEIR/ITS SYSTEMIC disastrous consequences which THEY themselves create, cyclical boom and bust, financial, real estate, energy, speculative asset bubbles, inflation, perpetual, endless, WARS, coups, interventions abroad, MASS Murder, Inc., RECIDIVIST EMPIRES OF CRIME, SOCIALIZED DEBT BUT PRIVATIZED PROFIT!
Taxpayers, serfs, peons, slaves, pay thru their ringed noses to keep THEIR system afloat, while benefiting NOTHING, losing everything, including TOTALLY WASTED MILITARY EXPENDITURES, HARDWARE, a boon to another PRIVATELY OWNED INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX marketing death and destruction abroad peddling their hardware as part of THEIR protection racketeering, extortion, blackmail.
In NATURAL DISASTER, of which TOO MANY exist, whether or not MAN MADE and/or natural climate change, combined, like earthquakes, volcanoes, floods of biblical proportions, hurricanes, fire, tsunamis, tornadoes, drought, asteroids, solar/electrical storms, pandemics, epidemics, you name it, the government issues DISASTER funds INSURING PRIVATE FIRMS DO NOT GO BANKRUPT!
Well, what the hell are we/you paying PRIVATE insurers when you can just give THAT SAME money to a NON PROFIT GOVERNMENT DISASTER RELIEF AGENCY??
Why have PRIVATE INSURANCE MIDDLE MEN at all collecting fees and profits??
Not to mention investment policies fueled by LOCAL GOVERNMENT TAX ABATEMENT, FREE PRIVATELY OWNED FEDERAL RESERVE STIMULUS monies, UNBRIDLED PRIVATE CAPITAL INVESTMENT for LUXURY PRIVATE AND COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE SPECULATION, SPRAWL, DEVELOPMENT, EXPANSION, CONTRIBUTING to and multiplying dire outcomes, consequences, of natural disasters of all sorts and dimensions, creating ever more poverty, displaced peoples, homelessness, welfare, impoverishment, marginalized urban and rural blight, despair, desperation!
Now, we have, in addition, a healthcare debacle of biblical proportions DROWNING most everyone in a dysfunctional PRIVATE health care INDUSTRY!
Both, twin, NAZI PARTIES support THEIR SICK PRIVATE health care system, MOST OF ALL, THEIR ENABLING, PARTNERED, COLLABORATIVE, BUSINESS AFL-CIA/SEIU, MAFIA LABOR UNIONS with PENSION systems equally bankrupt thanks to PRIVATE investments, BUT, guaranteed by TAXPAYER monies IF they happen to be "public" servants!
OUR UNIONS, AFL-CIA/SEIU, are culpable!
THEY will, shall and MUST be targeted, PAY, and, cease to exist until and unless THESE policies CHANGE!
THEY are the MAIN reason NO PRINCIPLED, MILITANT, ORGANIZED, opposition exists AGAINST AN ONGOING NIGHTMARE.
For those READING this HERE DECIMATED by supposed Obooma-does-not-care astronomical health care costs, ORGANIZE,
demonstrate, boycott, OCCUPY, MAKE NOISE, get your professional, business, community, organizations, IF you have any, to DO SOMETHING!
BE MILITANT--PROACTIVE not reactive!
ONLY ONE ANSWER exists to THEIR MANUFACTURED health care dilemma:
EXPAND AN ALREADY EXISTING, NATIONAL, GOVERNMENT SPONSORED, NOT FOR PROFIT, SINGLE PAYER HEALTH CARE SYSTEM, known as MEDICARE FOR ALL to encompass long term life care, nursing homes, assisted living, medicine, NO deductibles, NO income capped contributions and no MORE BANKRUPTCIES, IMPOVERISHMENT, ANXIETY, DUE TO EVER RISING HEALTH CARE COSTS!
OBOOMA DOES NOT CARE PUBLIC-PRIVATE HEALTH INSURANCE MUST GO--NOT TO BE REPLACED BY ANY FOR PROFIT RACE TO THE BOTTOM PRIVATE HEALTH CARE ALTERNATIVE which exactly is what is GOING TO HAPPEN AS OBOOMACARE EXPLODES, IMPLODES, ALREADY FINANCIALLY STRANGLING MUCH OF THE COUNTRY!
Now, as for blowhard, liar, snake oil, Trump, just ONE out of MANY examples of HIS stupidity, double standard, cynicism, FAKE NATIONALISM, represented in a local report, links, below.
SEPTA, a major Northeast PUBLIC TRANSIT SYSTEM located in southern Penna serving Phila and surrounding suburbs, plans purchasing MORE passenger RR cars, previously having done so FIRST from a South Korean firm which FAILED them, NOW, instead, from a mysterious so-called "state-private" (like our public-private partnerships) CHINESE FIRM about which we know nothing except for the fact that China exports GARBAGE to the US and everywhere else and SOMEONE negotiated this monstrous deal!
Well, STOP THIS DEAD IN ITS TRACKS!
Where are all our presumed "nationalists?"
Nowhere to be found!:

AND:

Most, more, important, why does NO US STATE OWNED RR PASSENGER PRODUCTION, NOT TO MENTION ENERGY, STEEL, AND/OR, OTHER BASIC INDUSTRY EXIST??
Why are we IMPORTING MANUFACTURED ITEMS like RR cars from everywhere else on the globe while NOT producing our own, but, manufacturing MORE MILITARY HARDWARE than ANYONE ELSE ON THE GLOBE, INSTEAD??
Why can't OUR COMMERCIAL RR COMPANIES MANUFACTURE AT NOT FOR PROFIT, AT COST, PASSENGER RR CARS??
Further questions arise around a necessity for these NEW cars, considering one BASIC, FUNDAMENTAL, amenity does NOT even exist, namely, BATHROOMS, TOILETS, LAVATORIES!
WIFI much more important, apparently!
Or, are they mutually exclusive categories??
On a somewhat tangential rumination regarding above subject matter, is it not possible to RETROFIT some sort of lavatory system, and, POSSIBLY, wifi, into existing RR cars.
I can think of LOTS of possibilities to do the above COMPARATIVELY inexpensive, relatively much more simple and easier.
NOT a BIG deal!
Further, PUBLIC TRANSIT FARES by RR, BUS, WHERE IT DOES EXIST, LIMITED MOSTLY to LARGE urban centers like Boston, NY, D.C., Phila, Chicago, ARE EXORBITANTLY EXPENSIVE, DISCOURAGING many people from using it MORE.
This includes AMTRAK.
Between 2 factors, exorbitant fares and/or LIMITED availability, MOST people HAVE cars BECAUSE NO PUBLIC OPTION EXISTS, BY DESIGN, or, lack thereof!
Public transportation, RRs, Bus, cars, compete with one another with PUBLIC TRANSIT as a POOR stepchild, BY strategic DESIGN on the part of BOTH OIL AND AUTO INDUSTRIES post WWII.
NO PUBLIC TRANSIT SYSTEM EXISTS IN MANY, MANY, RURAL, SUBURBAN, SMALLER, METRO AREAS OF THE US, except for a possibility of SOME sort of AMTRAK service!
As for ANY "nominally," Chinese investment HERE, whatsoever, slap a HUGE tariff ON ALL CHEAP, JUNK, GARBAGE, SLAVE LABOR, products emanating from China which FILL the coffers of AMAZON AND WALMART along with others, build domestic alternatives and/or import from OTHER areas when needed and where ABOVE factors do NOT APPLY.
For those elsewhere on the globe, don't worry.
Return favor in kind by SLAPPING A HUGE, GIANT, IMPORT FEE/TAX/TARIFF ON ALL IMPORTED OIL/GAS/COAL/ENERGY AND MILITARY HARDWARE EMANATING FROM THE US AND/OR OTHER PLACES ON THE GLOBE!
More regarding GAS, COAL, OIL, ENERGY, ELECTRICAL PRODUCTION and DELIVERY SYSTEMS, AND TAXPAYER SUBSIDIZED INFRASTRUCTURE, i.e., ANOTHER GREAT US ENERGY GIVEAWAY, STIMULUS PACKAGE, SUCKER, swindle!
First, an entity named Henry Hub exists here as a central distribution point, hub, regarding GAS pipelines thruout the country.
Below are a couple of basic info links, snippets, regarding Henry Hub, as its called.
Also, in one link, below, AT THE BOTTOM, END, to be found a map of ALL existing US pipelines AS WELL AS OTHER PLACES ON THE GLOBE.
The US, as a nation, has the MOST pipelines in the world!
OODLES, MILES, OF THEM!
Take a look at the following link/chart and scroll down alphabetically to US to SEE HOW MUCH exists in comparison to ELSEWHERE on the globe!
ASTRONOMICAL!:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_total_length_of_pipelines
The idea we NEED more is another dark, cruel, JOKE, hoax!
EVERY SINGLE PIECE OF OUR ENERGY SYSTEM, from gas, coal, oil, land, pipes, delivery system, RR, ELECTRICAL PRODUCTION AND DELIVERY, BEING PRIVATELY OWNED, INCLUDING, OF COURSE, THAT ON SUPPOSED FEDERAL LAND OR WATER, LIKE US GULF OF MEXICO, A SEA OF PRIVATE CORPORATIONS!
Once again, a proposed "public-private" gas pipeline and a SHELL petrochemical EXPORT project in THE MOST STUPID State of Penna sponsored by Trump AND OTHERS, including unions, Democrats, represents one, big, giant, enormous rip-off, REWARD, for ALL PRIVATE interests, investors, SUBCONTRACTORS (foreign and domestic), PARTIES combined, benefiting NO ONE HERE whatsoever but those PRIVATE CAPITAL giants with TAX ABATEMENT, exemptions, along with infrastructure subsidies!
Indeed, Trump was correct--the US is THE MOST STUPID COUNTRY ON THE GLOBE!
FIRST, THEY REPETITIVELY STEAL YOUR COLLECTIVE, PUBLIC, ASSETS, NOT TO MENTION FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS AS WELL, then, ADDING INSULT TO INJURY TELL YOU NEXT TO SPONSOR THEIR PROGRAMS WITH TAX RELIEF AND INFRASTRUCTURE, and, then you are supposed to kiss ass, bow down, and, be grateful!
Questions, debates, about TAX issues exist ONLY BECAUSE COLLECTIVELY WE OWN NOTHING, APPROPRIATING IT ALL FOR THEMSELVES!
NO tax question, "stimulus," public/private partnership, to exist IF, collectively, WE OWNED and thus CONTROLLED OUR OWN NATURAL RESOURCES AND INDUSTRIES, LAND, WATER, PIPELINES, RR.
So, THIS PROJECT ALSO MUST BE STOPPED DEAD IN ITS TRACKS by ALL and everyone concerned HERE AND ABROAD, BY ANY AND ALL MEANS NECESSARY.
I ask a rhetorical question never answered over and over--why is it OUR terrorists, HERE, NEVER, EVER, NOT ONCE, target, as, for example, they DO in IRAQ, STRATEGIC INTERESTS??
Then, of course, in contrast, comparison, those people here predominantly in rural areas thinking they NEED to protect their rifles, guns, well, fine, but, WHAT HAVE THEY ACCOMPLISHED WITH ALL THEIR AMMUNITION IN THE WAY OF PROTECTING THEIR/OUR JOBS, INDUSTRY, FINANCE??
Answer THAT??
What good has ALL your ammunition done for you except to shoot a deer??
IF they or we think they/we NEED, WANT, ANOTHER PIPELINE AND/OR PETROCHEMICAL processing plant, THEN, IT MUST BE STATE OWNED, NOT FOR PRIVATE CAPITAL INVESTMENT, EXPORT PURPOSES, SPECULATION, MORE ASSET STRIPPING, EXPLOITATION, bubble, adding insult to insult both to US and thruout the globe, OVER AND OVER AGAIN, WITH NO PROSECUTION, NO PENALTIES, NO LIQUIDATION, NO ACCOUNTABILITY, NO NEGATIVE REPERCUSSIONS, ZERO, NADA, ZIP!!
