    Shocking. Just like killing the USPS, they’d get multiple outcomes they’d like - one is that they’d crank out more Republicans by keeping people ignorant. Another is that they’d get to shovel money and education to the “right” people (read: not the Blahs). Lastly, they’d crush the threat of a good example - teachers’ unions.

    For the USPS, they’d get to rip away any ceiling on prices for shipping, and they’d also get to crush another threat of a good example in labor - unionized postal workers.

      Which has been 100% bipartisan. How many years did Obama ignore the over funding pensions issue? Biden has appointed enough Dems to the USPS board of governors to expel DeJoy, but he’s still in there.
