There’s gonna be so much to unfuck after this presidency ends in 100 years.

[–] Alteon@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days ago

It's absolutely gonna feel like a 100 years. FML....

We'd be better off rebuilding it all from scratch with an economic system that actually works for the people this time.

Monopoly laws should prevent retarded shit like this.

how? for more than half of the US fedex, ups, and for ~ two places dhl exist. vertical integration isn't prevented by anti-trust or monopoly laws.

The USPS is important because of rural and remote places that would otherwise completely lack mail services for even just sending tax to the government.

Those poor drivers are already overworked and underpaid. I can only imagine what hell they’d go through having to also deliver normal mail.

I guess it does not matter to these fucks that the Postal Service is enshrined in the fucking Constitution.

Yup. And then there's this idiot shit:

"but it doesn't make a profit!"

/SLAP/ you dumbfucks it's A SERVICE, it's not supposed to make profits it's supposed to ensure the transit of information and packages.

this is just more indication of destroying the society. Where I want to live starts with a seat of government, followed by post, followed by libraries, followed by education.

So the plan is to replace all the union jobs with contractors that don't get benefits, are filmed on the job at all times, and to have the hiring organization control all power of negotiation.

Fucking great. Let's do it. Make america poor again. Time to go back to the 1800s guys.

Damn, sucks to be FedEx and UPS. Spending millions in lobbying for decades only to get the snub by Mango Mussolini.

[–] ksigley@lemm.ee 10 points 1 day ago

Fuck Jeff Bezos.

What a treasure trove of data they’ll collect on us all. I hate this timeline
