The governments treatment of ISPs has made other industries reconsider how they do business. Utilities as we know them will be going away soon. How long before USPS is sold?

USPS fan here. BIG time fan.

There will be riots in the streets before the postal service is privatized. Who will go for that?

Democrats don't want it. Country Republican voters would be outraged in minutes if their service was cut off or the price spiked. Those voters will notice fast. And they'll take note faster than city people. LOL, their mailperson may be the one government official they know personally, and count on.

We're talking about a gigantic federal agency, gigantic. The USPS is simply too important to be fucked with. Anymore than we have already...

normally I'd completely agree with you.... but... DeJoy has been hatefucking the USPS for 4 years and we can't seem to get rid of him - conservatives or libs. so....

I dunno what the fuck to do, I just know nothing so far has worked.
