USPS is a magnificent success of the the United States as a country. Holy shit let me shake some of that junk mail out your truckload.

Government services shouldn't be built to turn a profit.

Government services shouldn't die based on your bias at your job.

The USPS is one of the few legitimate things we can point to show American Democracy could be great. Fuck all the bullshit mail.

But yeah fuck DeJoy.

i'm not sure which choir to which you preach, but it ain't over here. I'm not complaining about "government services", but transporting truckloads of useless paper is lame and wasteful. That is a thing that USPS does. And USPS also gets easily exploited, see the OP meme.

Let me try another tack. USPS has the lowest rate for sending anything compared to UPS and FedEx. Sure they can't guarantee the exact date of delivery because Mike might need a day for "self care" or "self taking care of shit during business hours"".

You want it now, you just a premium. Grainger got half the shit you want to do a job but at a premium. Same concept.
