    So you want Trump and MAGA politicians to be able to deny your payments instead?

    The problem with “just let the government do it” is when the government is run by people like this.

      So don’t let them.

      Basically nothing works if no one cares about their community. One of the reasons Trump is in power right now is because of a deep seated American apathy for, like… everything.

      Trump, et. al., are dismantling USPS, but I like USPS. It’s bad that they’re doing that.

        How naive can you be? You think your vote matters here?

        When every single district has been gerrymandered to death for 100 years, nobody’s vote really matters anymore.

          How does Putin’s boot taste?

          Oppression isn’t inevitable, even in the US, and you’ll never have the equitable anarchism you’re advocating for if the state doesn’t put a stop to these oligopolies.

            You are wildly off base if you think I have any love for that monster.

            You are also completely wrong in that oppression is the natural state of power.
