052 - Hey, Privatize This!

Inadvertently (because I try to ignore news as much as possible) saw today that not only is the worst postmaster general in the history of the position stepping down, but the plan is to privatize the post office.

Yeah, that’s going to work out great - a real frying pan to the fire situation. Take a system designed to be non-profit and replace it with one profit driven with shareholders and stock options.

Smart plan, demolish a system that’s worked for 250 years. What could possibly go wrong?

If Ben Franklin were alive today he’d be kicking some dweebish tech-boy ass.
