I do these posts on my smart phone. I would have fixed it up if not for the crash.

You might be able to edit it now if the Pencil icon still shows up (I think it should, since the dynamic version of this Page was restored). If not, Charles can fix it for you (he does that with Pages promoted to the front, since Page authors lose editing abilities afterwards).

As to the other arguments, I definitely get the gist of what you’re saying, but when others point out imprecision of terms, it’s an alert that your words may be open to interpretations you don’t intend. So, it doesn’t hurt to forestall that by using precise terms in the first place. Do you mean “for-profit privatization” as opposed to just privatization itself? Or maybe this phenomenon calls for a new term - “profitization”.
