Corporate greed playbook:
💵Load company with debt
⬆️Dividends, exec pay and debt finance up
⬇️Investment, worker pay and customer service quality down
💀Company goes bust
💰Shareholders and execs walk away with millions
🏛️Taxpayer picks up the pieces
🤢 Rinse and repeat.
@DavidHAllison I felt that when they nationalised @Se_Railway. Now my sigh is a different one. You have to remember who's in charge of the nationalised railway. The govt immediately cut the timetable and cancelled all trains to central London without consulting. The service remains a disaster.
@whiteroserachel I'd come at it from an upbeat angle and turn it. You need to love the character to care what happens to them. A visual version of this song would work I think. See how their joy and hanging on to hope before you feel the pain? Maybe? https://t.co/pH7FZiKrMS
@GreenwichCycle@Royal_Greenwich I didn't report. We had a Mexican stand off. I pointed out it was my right of way. He said I looked stupid in cycle gear (florescent coat and helmet!) And then left. I forgot to get the number plate because of adrenaline... I now just treat it as their right of way to stay alive
@DanLThorpe@Se_Railway@SteveWhiteRail@networkrail I've been sitting on a train at platform 6 for over 40 mins now with no indication if or when it will ever go. Utter shambles. The amount of my life wasted by the rail since the changes is incredible. It is an absolute mess.
