the whole "make the postal service profitable" is such a bonkers way of thinking about it too. its a service that i fund by paying taxes and i get cheap mail service. who would get the profit anyway?

    There is a stupid conservative line of thinking that government services should fund themselves and turn a profit so that taxes don't have to be used.

    Perfectly acceptable when you suggest the post office but you suggest the Army hold bake sales to fund their tanks and everyone loses their fucking minds.
