    It’s going to be like comcast/amazon/prison system running our mail system. The republicans have been trying to bankrupt our postal service for decades. The way these headlines are phrased, like it’s inevitable, isn’t a good sign.

      They just finished the coup degrace in England with their postal service. Probably funded by the same folks and groups. Standard approach.

    Whoever “buys” our National services needs to forfeit them back when the nation finally stabilizes. We owe nothing to those complicit in robbery.
