My takeaway from seeing the second LOTR movie for the first time is that the Jacob Elordi Frankenstein looks kind of like yassified Wormtongue.

If it’s run for profit, then it’s profiting off of … us.
When I hear that the post office lost money, I think this: Good. We already paid for it. Why on earth should it make even more money from us? Who would keep the money? Would we see it?

I don't want to start a thing so I'll just say that there will never be a good argument for privatizing USPS. That would be like privatizing libraries. The aim of services isn't to be run for profit, they are for serving the greater good, which USPS has been extremely successful at.
