They have physical locations and extant real estate across the entire US.

So, rather than continuing to give billions to private ISPs that do literally nothing with that money, and who double-down to curtail services whenever mildly inconvenient, my suggestion is that we (ie US Government) does not provide a single additional dollar in funding or subsidies, and instead invests that money in building itself a USG internet UTILITY. If necessary, clawback the billions that have gone to Comcast, ATT, Verizon et al, or just seize their networks and charge their executives with RICO and fraud. They essentially operate as a cartel anyway.

I actually meant both. To use USPS for basic banking, AND have them offer internet from the same locations.

The US Government needs to stop dicking around with this neoliberal bullshit and just offer mobile and home Internet AS A UTILITY.

Use the existing USPS infrastructure and cut out all the bullshit ISPs and parasitical orgs that have been bloating themselves on taxpayers for decades, with zero improvements to users.

Bring back basic banking at USPS too.

The U.S. government entered into approximately 374 treaties with Native American tribes between 1778 and 1871. Then broke pretty much every one.

The history of this country is shameful.

I would say it’s the reverse for me. The older I am, the more I understand, the angrier I remain.

End qualified immunity and abolish police unions. They’re the bastions of the bad apples that bottleneck better candidates.

The world has been fighting Boomers for 4 decades. They’re not all villains, but certainly the majority of villains are Boomers.
