    Honestly the postal service is a source of more irritation in my life than benefit at this point. So… of all the crazy shit Trump wants to do it’s hard to get super upset about this one.

    Edit: Y’all have reading comprehension issues. I am not saying the postal service should be privatized but let’s see between ending democracy and the rule of law, banning life-saving healthcare, and inflicting violent deportation on millions of US residents using the military, bombing Mexico, and supporting Israeli genocide is this really the thing to focus on?

        No one needs to send me anything important, it’s all just junk mail and other nonsense. But I still have to go through it every day to make sure I don’t miss the one important letter I get per month, usually from some corporate or state organization that wants to extort me.

        If people just couldn’t send me letters at all I think my life would be better.

          Well shit, I’m convinced. We should scrap this government program.

          Let me say this for the rest of the people in the USA need to hear it: YOU ARE NOT THE ONLY PERSON THAT MATTERS GET THE FUCK OVER YOURSELF AND LEARN TO LIVE IN A COOPERATIVE SOCIETY YOU SELF-CENTERED FUCKS.

            Take a deep breath buddy. I am just speaking to my personal experience, which, by definition, does not necessarily involve other people. Nor did I say we should scrap anything.

            In fact, I was hoping someone here would clearly explain to me why the postal service is so essential. I assume it is, but it’s just not clear to me personally how. But it’s 2024 online discourse so expecting more than shouting and insults was naive of me I suppose.
