    Just think. In Article 1 of the US Constitution, the same article that creates Congress, also creates a federal post office system.

    We’ve spent the last 40 years trying to privatize the function of the Post Office and dismantle it as a federal agency.

      there’s a pretty good fucking argument that mail - paper mail, not packages - should simply be all email or at the worst, scanned and transmitted electronically.

      LOL @ the downvotes - you think they can’t look at your mail already?

      HOW FUCKING DUMB ARE YOU CHILDREN? bwhahahaah

          you don’t think they’re able to peep into your mail if they want to already?

          and that the slight level of ‘security’ the service provides isn’t outweighed by the enormous savings in fuel burned as the silly truck visits every house every weekday simply to deliver a flyer from the grocery?

          pffft
