Well of course a layperson would think that!

There’s a reason they’re trying to destroy and privatize USPS. It’s highly unionized and the workers won’t let them use USPS against us.

Also, while we’re at it, USPS should also provide municipal internet.

Who ordered it and why is the same no matter how many shooters there were. If there were fourty gunmen, who ordered it and why remains the same.

No profit motive and no private interests.

I’m sure there could still be private carriers, just like there’s still private delivery services like UPS and FedEx, but I don’t see why the average person should be relying on a private company for essential infrastructure.

I’m not sure why the USPS shouldn’t be the sole provider of email in the US.

I don’t see how this undermines the “lone shooter” narrative - what it undermines is the “acting alone” narrative. Lee was an asset. Why not just be satisfied with assuming he assassinated the president under orders?

We’re talking about a specific army of a specific country, that’s hardly “broad strokes” 🙄

Okay, based on that article Zipf’s law seems to mostly apply to languages. Cities, for example, don’t follow it.

Is that different from any other soda? They’re all pretty acidic.

As if Google isn’t already crammed with Israeli spies. In fact, that’s probably why an Israeli company just got a sweetheart buy out from Google! This is just a continuation of a pre-existing issue Google already had.

Sure sounds like you’re trying to make me conform to your worldview. 🙄

voter backlash

Aww, liberals still think they’re going to fix this by voting. How cute!

Lemmy is not a forum.

Forums are structured around activity bumping, not recency and voting. A years old thread can end up back on the front page if someone posts in it. It’s just a different medium.

And it’s a medium that we need to preserve.

I will only say “thank you for your service” to people who deserve it, like fire fighters and bus drivers and nurses.

I can’t help but notice you didn’t answer my question, which is itself an answer.

I did educate myself. I read history and political theory. You didn’t. You just repeat what you learned in school. Sad.

You mean back when you supported the empire?

Ignorance is bad. I’m glad I know the truth.

The only veterans I respect are the ones that become anti-US by the time they get out.

If they’re wishing for the good ol’ days when they could be proud of the US, fuck em.

You’re a Nazi if you think communism is worse than the fucking Nazis. Every fucking time, when anti-communists try to push the lie that communism is worse than Nazis you end up with mass killings of suspected communists.

US army certainly bad.
