That’s a list of benefits that the USPS would see if Amazon was nationalized and made a part of the USPS. I don’t know how you misunderstood that. Obviously Amazon makes more money. That’s the point I’m making.

Right, nationalizing Amazon would make their employees government workers and utilizing their delivery vans and trucks, it wouldn’t be the current USPS employees getting tasked with delivering all of Amazon’s stuff on top of the regular mail. It’s an obvious avenue for improvement across the board, USPS has a better…

I mean the vision I have for Amazon as a public service would involve splitting off the AWS side of things (and also subjecting those services to higher levels of regulation and scrutiny to limit or prevent mass corporate monitoring and selling of data), so the USPS Amazon service would just be the storefront and…

I mean like Ryan said, worker’s rights are more important than getting a USB cable delivered next day, but also think about it for a second, do you think that the USPS doesn’t deliver as quickly out of spite? Or maybe a larger network of delivery workers and vehicles inherited from Amazon on top of more income for the…

Nationalize Amazon. Make it part of the USPS. Get rid of all these corpo-fascist monitoring systems. 

This is such an asinine assumption. They’re kids, you don’t have to “train” them to be rambunctious and unruly, especially when you force them into poor conditions with minimal oversight, like a bus with no AC and a driver getting paid too little to care too much. 

A few more roundabouts, protected bike lanes, smaller roads, you could definitely update the roads to be better for everyone and worse for takeovers

Yeah honestly just pushing aside everything I know about the Cybertruck, the Dale wrap goes hard and I absolutely love the floral wrap. I hope that lady does the same on whatever replaces her CT.

Oh yeah that would’ve gone over much better. Get yer head out of your ass 

Well Wikipedia lists it as bimonthly, looking at the full issue list it looks like it was monthly only for the last decade of its run.

Ignore cost-effectiveness? In these United States? Surely you jest! We’re cutting education funding in favor of for-profit schools because public education isn’t cost-effective! Ha! You fool! We will always shoot ourselves in the collective foot to preserve a profit margin!

I don’t think you understood the point I was making. 

MAD came out once every two months, I don’t think they were as timely as major outlets.

I feel like my scathing wit hurt your feelings and now you’re projecting

Not really, there have always been tiers to it. This isn’t the New York Times, but even in the heyday of print media there were plenty of more casual papers and zines with lower editorial standards. This is basically a small niche going through a lot of turmoil in its management and ownership and they don’t get a lot…

Oh yeah lemme just extend my massive influence in the news space to make it so that it’s no longer a 24/7 constant news cycle and also get them to stop reporting on trivial things like stuff the former President has said during his campaign for another term.

I do think that’s just years and decades of journalism and editorial insistence that freezes them up, like it goes against everything they’ve worked for to publish that sort of rambling nonsense. They probably should more faithfully transcribe the things he says but I’m also not sure that it would make much of…

I mean yeah that’s what makes it difficult to transcribe for cogent reporting and analysis.

Yeah I don’t know why my comment inspired this tangent. Obviously the hardcore base doesn’t care, but this is about reporting on the other side, trying to report on and respond to his nonsense for normal people. 

Jamelle Bouie from the NYT kinda talked about this after the press conference at Mar-a-Lago, how it’s nearly impossible to transcribe what Trump says and makes cogent reporting on him extremely difficult.
