Why are private equity investors buying up fostering agencies & homes in England?

Well, if you think its because they have a better idea of how to support & enhance the well-being of vulnerable your people, you're an incurable optimist.

What the PE firms see is a sector where fee income can be increased easily & money siphoned out of the system to feed investors' 'need' for returns.

Once again we are seeing profiteering on the backs of the vulnerable!

There are plausible allegations of #childRape against the President of the #USA and the firehose of bullshit and attention spans are such that it registers meekly

Any other time in my life and for several lifespans before mine it would be the biggest fucking thing

Not to sound like a feeble old man yelling at clouds but it feels like the world is sick and broken in a way I don't understand

Is this #news going to fade by next week to a blip due to some new bullshit?

If you take just one thing away from #FOSDEM this is it.

“If we lose our democracies, Open Source is irrelevant and goes away”

or putting it another way:

If we don’t apply, enforce, adopt and embrace Open Source in our public and government institutions we risk to lose our democracies.

Because a LOT of people are missing the point:

No, Elon Musk is NOT serious about putting a million data centres into orbit. It can't work: laws of physics say "nope".

But SpaceX is expected to go public this year.

Elon is talking up his company's future prospects in front of gullible investors because he needs a growth narrative beyond Starlink, which is already priced in. Something to justify the Starship proram beyond NASA's lunar ambitions.

So it's salesman's bullshit, lies for fools.
