Jim Hightower - Uh-oh. Trump is hearing voices again. And the voices are telling him to do something truly stupid. As he puts it, “There is a lot of talk about the Postal Service being taken private,” adding that “It’s an idea that a lot of people have liked for a long time.”
Hmmm, I haven’t heard even one voice say our phenomenal public mail service should be privatized. Indeed, it is a widely popular government agency because it works for everyone – rich and poor, urban and rural...
They’re out to steal an essential public treasure, but they’re also trying to censor opposition to their political control of government. The Postal Service was created in 1792 in part to prevent royalists and oligarchs from controlling communications. If you think that’s not a problem in modern America, reflect on the blunt media censorship being imposed right now by Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, Jeff Bezos, and other petty potentates of corporate plutocracy.
