Nonya Bidniss :CIAverified:<p>Here's what's going to happen when our services are privatized. First, some services will just be gone. Public good services that aren't seen as profitable will be gone. That's things like Social Security. Why would a billionaire get involved with that? They'll just steal the existing funds and shut it down. Second, services that we already paid for with our taxes, which could be monetized, like NOAA, we'll still pay for but we'll pay lots more and we'll pay it monthly like a cable company. We'll end up with a whole list of new service "subscriptions" for everything from the weather to schools. And our taxes will NOT go down because we'll still be paying for billionaires and mega corps to pay NO taxes just like we do now, while the government continues to operate things like the DOD (which will itself be pared down, sold off in parts, and augmented with billionaire-owned privateers). This new country the billionaires want is a return to feudalism in which you will owe your liege lords all kinds of money every month while scrabbling to keep your families alive, with all the "services for the public good" gone. <br><a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/coup" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>coup</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/corrupion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>corrupion</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/networkState" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>networkState</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/darkEnlightenment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>darkEnlightenment</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/fascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fascism</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/feudalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>feudalism</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/authoritarianism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>authoritarianism</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/kleptocracy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>kleptocracy</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/kakistocracy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>kakistocracy</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/oligarchy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>oligarchy</span></a></p>

Coach Pāṇini ®<p>The decline of <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/feudalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>feudalism</span></a> was influenced by several key phenomena:</p><p>1. Political Changes: </p><p>The <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/MagnaCarta" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MagnaCarta</span></a> in England limited the power of the monarchy and strengthened the rights of nobles, contributing to feudalism’s decline.</p><p>2. Bubonic Plague: </p><p>The Black Death significantly reduced the population, leading to <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/labor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>labor</span></a> shortages. This empowered surviving workers to demand higher wages and more <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/rights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>rights</span></a>, weakening the feudal system.</p><p>1/3</p>
