Manufactured Crisis Behind Push Toward Privatization? OF COURSE, DUH!!!!!!!
Just like the lies about SSS and the social programs, this is just another fascist move by the corporate vultures. There's no way the other carriers can compete with the USPS, and it's NOT about subsidies, it's that USPS doesn't have the stupid plutocracy bleeding it dry like the rest of the corporate world. I do all my shipping through USPS, and they are cheaper, more reliable, and my customers prefer them. And listen to how the corps would run the USPS. Lay 130,000+ off. Cut service, gut the infrastructure, and what's not said, at least double the cost to the consumer. Capitalism in America is NOT about competition, it's about screwing you without any relief. No choice, no problem.
