The only reason to privatize the USPS is to be able to take loans against the pension so you can indirectly steal the pension.

This benefits no one.

This benefits no one.

It deff benefits a few... And that's the point.

Absolutely. When people say "This benefits no one!" It's usually because they aren't the ones benefiting from it, and can't internalise that they're going to be getting fucked so someone, who already has more money than most Nations could spend in several decades, gets a bit more money.

can't internalise that they're going to be getting fucked so someone,

And instead of learning the fucking lesson a normie decides to bootlicker harder.

Unfortunately, that's almost a century of indoctrination at work. If they manage to oust the Fascists, thr US can look forward to a long hard road of deprogramming a vast portion of their population. If they even care to. Probably better off going full collapse and rebuilding as a bunch of new countries.
