The post office is not supposed to be a business

Stop treating it like a business

It’s a government provided service (gasp, a social service!) so citizens can communicate.

No wonder they want to take it away from us.

It's the same with public transit. Some people think the government shouldn't invest in it because it won't be profitable, but... it's not supposed to be. It's a public service, just like libraries, firefighters, parks, public schools, road maintenance, etc. That's literally what taxes are for.

My dad (a conservative) works in usps and thinks that there's no way they'll go after them.

He gets fed up saying how DMV workers are so slow and disrespectful and them glazes up his work in the dmv saying that their agency is the one that gets overworked the most.

There's a potential future where we could get rid of the DMV. Like we could simply require insurance through AAA or whatever. If you can't get insured by any branch, then you shouldn't drive.

Cops should have to get malpractice insurance too. Insurance is a good solution to a lot of stuff.

AAA is a nonprofit, if they privatize the DMV it'll damn well be a corporation with a CEO that can make kickbacks to all the right people and keep the poors below him at bay.
