| Message | Companies want to make profit, and they do that by lowering the wages, impairing the workers conditions and lowering the quality. We also need public state-owned things to make sure that people with low-income can afford basic services. Taking away the regulations on healthcare companies and post offices allow the companies to lower the quality, wages and working conditions to make more profit. Allowing companies instead of the state to manage the power grid will also make the power more expensive. |
