      I’d bet he wants to take over Amtrak so he can replace it with that stupid Las Vegas car tunnel.

        Or replace it with nothing, because “railways and mass transit are obsolete” (translation: “they’re hurting my car sales”).

      Everything that has been privatized, has ended up costing us more for shittier service. This will not be different.

      Exactly, we have UPS, FedEx, DHL and bunch of others.

      Leave USPS the fuck alone.

        They’re all shit too. Fat lot of good privatization would do. USPS was Cool and Good until DeJoy was dropped in to throw wrenches into the cogs.

          UPS is actually fairly reliable. FedEx is hit and miss depending on the driver coverage area you’re in, DHL and others just don’t even exist.

          USPS has always been great, but primarily for handling “last mile” where a lot of customers need reliable delivery of low monetary value packages like letters that UPS isn’t set to handle, but carry some of the most important lifelines of information to rural and poor Americans.
