Privatizing Our Roads
2007-10-29 06:16:00 In Los Angeles, some commutes take 90 minutes to travel 16 miles. Despite LA's infamous roadways, our entire transportation infrastructure is aged and highways all over the country become parking lots during rush hour. A proposed solution is privatizing roadways, taking responsibility away from the government and giving it to contracted companies. Supporters argue that government is too large and inefficient to manage roads and insure safe, functional travel. Critics of privatization respond that ease of travel should not be contingent upon whether or not a traveler can pay extra toll fees.

El Partido Andalucista rechaza la política de privatizaciones indiscriminad
2007-10-17 20:41:00 Miguel Ángel Prieto dice que "a este paso el Instituto Municipal de Deportes va a desaparecer por no tener nada que gestionar"El portavoz local de los andalucistas, Miguel Ángel Prieto Uceda, ha efectuado unas declaraciones en las que ha manifestado "el rechazo de los andalucistas a la política de privatizaciones indiscriminadas que en materia de instalaciones deportivas está llevando a cabo el equipo de gobierno del Partido Popular".Prieto se pronunció de este modo porque "la gestión indirecta de las instalaciones deportivas públicas puede llegar hasta un cierto punto, pero hay un límite, una línea roja que no se puede traspasar. Y el caso del pabellón polideportivo del Junquillo es un ejemplo claro. Es la única instalación deportiva pública en un entorno donde habitan más de la cuarta parte de los linenses y en donde es necesario que se note la presencia y el apoyo de las administraciones para nivelar sus ratios con los de otras zonas de la ciudad. ¿La privatización de este equipa...

Another "Win" For Privatization
2007-10-16 00:01:00 I?m going to overlook the fact that this Philadelphia Daily News article was written by the utterly despicable Stu Bykofsky, because what matters is the story he uncovered.It turns out that Magee Rehabilitation Hospital in Philadelphia applied in January of this year to receive our critically wounded military personnel for treatment, and their application was accepted in April (they applied to Health Net Federal Services and not the Veterans Administration directly; Health Net is ? you guessed it ? a contractor).However, to date, Magee has yet to receive a patient for treatment (the hospital was rated 16th of all facilities of its type throughout the country by U.S. News and World Report).As Bykofsky tells us?I don't want to make this political, but Dr. Bruce M. Gans, chief medical officer of Kessler Institute for Rehabilitation, says the VA system "has been actively dismantled over the last dozen years due to cost-cutting moves," resulting in "serious limitations" to the wounded g...

Privatize It All
2007-09-28 06:10:00 When I did the posts on Blackwater here and here I was thinking that is should be no surprise that the Bush/Cheney cabal would use mercenaries in Iraq - they have attempted to privatize everything else and the results have been equally disastrous. Well today Paul Krugman is thinking virtually out loud in:Hired Gun Fetish Sometimes it seems that the only way to make sense of the Bush administration is to imagine that it?s a vast experiment concocted by mad political scientists who want to see what happens if a nation systematically ignores everything we?ve learned over the past few centuries about how to make a modern government work.Thus, the administration has abandoned the principle of a professional, nonpolitical civil service, stuffing agencies from FEMA to the Justice Department with unqualified cronies. Tax farming ? giving individuals the right to collect taxes, in return for a share of the take ? went out with the French Revolution; now the tax farmers are back.And so are me...

Pearson, 1985, later transcripted for the web; however, footnotes and bibliography added by Pearson are missing.excerpts; Ch. 3—Parrhesia and the Crisis of Democratic Institutions: __The primary danger of liberty and free speech in a democracy is what results when everyone has his own manner of life, his own style of life . For then there can be no common logos, no possible unity, for the city.__Following the Platonic principle that there is an analogous relation between the way a human being behaves and the way a city is ruled, between the hierarchical organization of the faculties of a human being and the constitutional make-up of the polis, you can see very well that if everyone in the city behaves just as he or she wish...
Blackwater, Iraq & Privatized Security
2007-09-18 18:54:00 After a controversial shootout, the Iraqi government revoked the operational license of Blackwater USA, an American security firm with at least 1,000 paramilitary soldiers in Iraq. Whether Blackwater actually leaves the country remains to be seen, but the incident highlights the growing controversy surrounding contracted security. The debate reignites with prescient timing, as President Bush recently announced that, if stability continues to improve, US troop levels in Iraq will be reduced by the end of the year.
JAXA being Privatized in order to qualify for Google Lunar X Prize?
2007-09-17 23:39:00 It seems that the Japanese government is planning to privatize the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) so that it will qualify and be in the running for Google and the X Foundations 30 million dollar worth of prizes for getting robotic rover on the Moon. Japan only last week launched a very publicized lunar orbiter from the small island of Tanegashima off the southern tip of Kyushu Island, southern Japan using the domestically developed H-2A rocket. I wonder if this will be official and how it will develop. Big thanks to Tori for pointing this out to me. [ Via - risingsunofnihon ]

German Documentary Reveals the Costs of Privatization
2007-09-10 17:59:00 A powerful new documentary examining the effects of privatization has emerged from Germany. THE BIG SELLOUT weaves a story of mismanagement, neocolonialism, suffering and resistance from four separate corners of the globe. In the film we meet four central characters, beginning with Simon, a British train driver. Simon clearly articulates the consequences of the systematic dismantling of what was once Europe?s best public transportation system. Since Thatcher privatized the rail systems, wages have dropped, employment has dropped, service has denigrated, and no one wants to take responsibility for the rail lines (until recently, the government has stepped in and re-nationalized that one aspect sheerly out of safety concerns and a massive PR disaster after several deaths from rail collisions). Simon is a force for public service and organized labour, and brings the sometimes philosophically lofty discussions of ?common good? down to earth. We meet Miranda, a Phillipine mother whose 1...

"Your" water, "their" tribunal. BITs in water privatizations
2007-08-20 12:01:00 You don't believe me? There is more than one case, really. I want to get back to that Tanzanian water privatization case, as reported by the Guardian:Lawyers for Tanzania's government, whose participation in such a tribunal process is among the terms of a bilateral investment treaty signed with Britain in 1994, argue that Biwater failed in its contractual obligations, performing worse than its inefficient state-owned predecessor. If the government was to meet its citizens' need for safe water, it too had no choice, they claim, but to terminate the City Water arrangement just 22 months into what was meant to be a 10-year contract.Now, you think the government can do anything once such dispute arises?Despite the secrecy of proceedings - the tribunal is closed to the public, and Biwater sought and was granted a ruling that both parties refrain from speaking publicly to the media during the week-long hearing that finally began in The Hague in April - a host of interested parties will...
The Tanzania Water Privatization Problem
2007-08-18 18:31:00 Guardian issued an interesting article elaborating the Dar-es-Salam Water Privatization problem:At 11.30am on June 1 2005, three British expatriates were detained by the police in Tanzania. Cliff Stone, Michael Livermore and Roger Harrington were the senior managers at City Water, a consortium responsible for managing Dar es Salaam's water supply. After being held for several hours, the men were served with notices describing them as "undesirable immigrants" and told to leave the country.I do not know the privatization scheme of Dar-es-Salam water service, but it appears to me that they are using a leasing scheme, where the authority retains ownership of the infrastructure (plus doing some administrative work) and the private operator runs the water treatment, extend network, and in this case, do the billing.There is one contractual issue that I would like to highlight in this Dar-es-Salam case:City Water repeatedly complained to the Tanzanian water ministry that its bid was based ...
9/11: Another Argument for Privatization
2007-08-17 18:28:00 Uncomfortable Questions: Was the Death Star Attack an Inside Job?9/11 conspiracy theories are fun if you don't think too hard (the WTC owner made $5 billion off 9/11 in insurance money? Uh-oh! Oh wait, it's costing $6 billion to rebuild), but they all brush past the key detail: the Bush administration is not good at doing jobs, and an insider 9/11 would've been the job of all jobs, therefore they would've catastrophically failed to knock down two specific buildings. Unless we're supposed to suspect that Bush has purposely sucked at everything in his entire life just to throw us off the trail. HMMMMM...9/11 was insanely horrible, but just imagine how much worse it could've gone if the Federal government had been in charge of it; somehow, someway, all of New York would've ended up leveled by accident*. Thank God it was left up to private entities.* - Two types of inhumanly evil savagery: competent and not so much.
Chines tenta batizar seu filho de "@"

Em português, "@" é pronunciado como "arroba"."O mundo inteiro usa o termo para escrever email, mas quando traduzido para o chinês ele significa 'amo ele"', explicou o pai da criança, segundo o vice-diretor da Comissão Estatal de Linguagem, Li Yuming.O símbolo "@" é familiar aos usuários de email chineses, e eles frequentemente usam o termo em inglês, "at", para pronunciá-lo. E quando "at" é desenhado em chinês, tem um som parecido com "ai ta", ou "amo ele" para os falantes de mandarim.Li não informou se as autoridades aceitaram o nome. Em uma entrevista coletiva para falar do idioma, ele disse que o nome "@" é um exemplo extremo sobre o modo cada vez mais ousado que as pessoas estão fazen...

The Administration has emphasized only a small part of this law, the ?fair? distribution of oil revenues. Consider the fact that the Iraqi ?Hydrocarbon Law? contains a mere three sentences that generally discusses the ?fair? distribution of oil.Except for three scant lines, the entire 33 page ?Hydrocarbon Law,? is about creating a complex legal structure to facilitate the privatization of Iraqi oil.... |
