   Wonderful! :-)
   If you have an audience who needs to know these details, your fellow fedizens are here to help!
   The first image shown below I got courtesy of our friend @strypey in this thread https://mastodon.nzoss.nz/@strypey/111082830456787422
   Our other mastopal had an objection about percentage GDP. Just ignore the joke I replied with and read further down the thread for some other ways I spurgled out into the keyboard for how public services may be sabotaged and hijacked by capitalists.
   Our friend @anniemo71 gifted me with the chomsky image just today too.
   Remember: We're all in this together. Keep your stick on the ice! :-)
