Yeah, this is my problem with the calls to "support the USPS". Don't think I haven't boosted that idea as well. But this issue is much, much bigger than "hey everybody, go buy some stamps!" That's not going to solve it. I'm not even sure that will get us through to November, the way this guy is gutting it.

Yeah I completely feel that, and this often ends up being our refrain to systemic issues, as if an individual response will help. I'm sure to some extent it feels better than just understanding the greater forces at play.

Yeah. As I said, I really have been boosting the idea (on various platforms) to buy stamps, and buy merchandise! (And to take other actions, like calling reps and senators.) In the long run, it would be good for people to do that. But I fear in this case, individuals banding together won't give them enough money. And now, it's not just about the money -- it's about this asshole dismantling key structural elements in order to damage its functioning.
