Ep 45 "The Postal Service...Is a Joke.": The USPS Boogeyman Myth
About this Episode
***NOTE***
Naturally, I got a few facts dead wrong in this one:
First, the union I belong to does not actually include a portion of my dues toward their democratic candidate pick, for a union to do that would be flat out illegal. There's a separate fund for that, of which I can actually decide for myself If and What and To Whom... I take responsibility for that grossly misinformed statement.
Second, a TRILLION is not a billion billion, rather its a thousand billion. So there's that... my bad :(
Now then...
Greetings. The only other news being covered by the mainstream media besides the Coronavirus Scamdemic is the imminent demise of the Postal Service. The narrative we're being fed is that The Bad Orange wants to privatize the Post Office. Which on its face seems like a bad idea. But when you think about it, wouldn't that mean presenting the mail service on a silver platter to the Bad Orange's alleged arch nemesis, The Bezos?
How could privatizing the Post Office prevent The Bezos and Evil Corp. from swooping it up and enslaving all the postal workers as indentured servants in exchange for substandard pay and zero benefits?
Why would the Bad Orange want to give his nemesis Dr Evil such an awesome monopoly over information exchange and "Last Mile" delivery when he already has it for the most part?
Why are the REAL reasons for the demise of the Postal Service being conveniently left out of the news?
How could a business that runs an ever increasing deficit in the billions annually, makes negative profits and is totally resistant to basic fundamental innovation still afford to employ over 600,000 people with secure lifetime careers AND do the clean up work for every package delivery service in America and some parts of the world?
Because it's NOT a business.
There is no business in the world that would survive even one year with the USPS model, yet it's enshrined in our daily lives as a national institution of efficiency.
Tune in to this episode and think for yourself about what should be done about the Post Office and the antiquated, dinosaur bureaucracy, and collective boogyman logic burying this institution in place.
