You're a condescending ass

The dealership system is fucking protectionist bullshit and needs to go. There's no reason a manufacturer shouldn't be able to direct sell their vehicles. That being said, fuck this guy and his shitty cars.

I've had mutilated packages delivered by USPS, FedEx, and UPS. FedEx and UPS, I called, filed a complaint, got a case number, and received a replacement within a few days to a week. USPS, I called, spent hours trying to reach someone, and was told "nothing we can do, call the sender".

FedEx contractors suck, but at least the company will make you whole when their contractors fuck up. USPS employees don't give 2 shits, IME.

The USPS has 2 legal monopolies, according to US code title 39:

  1. Carrying letters, with an exception for "very urgent material" - which is why FedEx, UPS, DHL, etc are able to carry some letters, but can't do regular ground letter delivery.

  2. Use of mailboxes. It is a felony (IIRC) for non postal employees to put things inside mailboxes.

100% correct. All gun control has racist roots

They don't need to privatize the USPS, they just need to lobby for the government's monopoly on post, established by act of Congress in the 1800s, to be removed. Then they can create a competing postal system, like Lysander Spooner did with the American Letter Mail Company. If they really think they can make a profitable service that competes with the USPS, let them try.
