        No, start by nationalizing SpaceX. Then we can deliver packages REALLY FAST.

              it would allow for a more efficient and streamlined delivery service alongside better regulated sale of goods and proper quality checking and consumer protections that most people moan about the lack of, which would not be fixed just by monopoly busting

                nationalizing it would keep it a monopoly, while cutting it up would cause the bits of the company to have to compete to keep each of their delivery services efficient and streamlined

                consumer protections can be implemented with regulations

                  Oh, I didn’t downvote you. Others did, government corporations by themselves don’t act like monopolies because they do not prioritise money but instead influence and power, you wouldn’t need predatory tactics to keep people using your state owned solutions and a government wouldn’t employ predatory tactics to beat down on competitors, if it truly was meant only for the government then it would have private investment into the field made illegal.

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

      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.

      I come from the future!

      Now you need a subscription to get mail, including jury summons. The subscription will be $100/mo but that’s actually not too bad after the 2026 inflation. Despite paying for your subscription, there will be even more ads. Also they’ll wrap your jury summons in a random ad each time. Damaging the electronics in your reusable box will result in a fee.
