4. Not so Conservative, these Conservatives

USPS is written into the Constitution.

Its purpose for being was universal, equal-cost communications for the People, so that they could all get news, so they could be informed and be good voters.

Fascism doesn't like that idea. Worse still, the Corporations see a profit to be made, with specialty services and non-union labor and no pensions or benefits. they see no profit in an informed public and activist, informed voting. And paying taxes to support Labor? Well, they pretty much already cut that support out.

It is disgusting. How these villains can claim to be anything but psychopaths is beyond me.
