mmmm bear.



"socialism is already here, and you like it. Or at least, I would assume you like most of the services provided in the narrative above. "

Unfortunately no, I do enjoy many of their uses of course. That does not inherently mean I like the way I must receive them.

Often times it is not that the service does not "work" but rather its quality compared to what it could be. A prime example: I went to the post office a couple of weeks ago to RMA some red seatbelt fabric for an upcoming project for the box. I sent it via postoffice.

Service guy: Do you want insurance?
me: is there not insurance already up to 100.00$?
service guy: no
me: what happens if the package does not make it to the destination... what will happen
service guy: nothing. you will have no recourse. you could however, purchase package tracking for X dollars.
me: will that do anything for me?
service guy: well, you will know if it gets there.


compare to UPS who has free tracking, insurance up to $100.oo and the like.

so it is not that we do not have the service or that we do not like them its just that it could be better.


PS. the postal service is currently a black hole for federal money. that is another issue all together.
