If you’re from the US! Go out and buy stamps this week. Brave the line, wear your mask, but buy stamps!
The USPS is facing privatization by the GOP greed-mongering idiots, but let me tell you why this is bad
First of all, the postal service is in the constitution. You know, that thing the GOP pretends to care about when it suits them. It’s designed to make communication available for even the poor. It’s the only service that reaches many rural addresses, ALL addresses, in fact, and other shipping services will leave packages to them because of this. It’s the only service that is as cheap. Fifty cents to send a letter across country. The next cheapest service is $13. They are not subsidized or funded by the government, but make money off mailers and advertising and junk mail...and stamps.
This vital service employs over 600,000 people, services every place, rural or poor. If it is privatized, it will be the end of accessible shipping for the lowest class. Make no mistake, it’s not just greed, this is an attempt to take one more thing from the 99%
Buy stamps! If we all do, we can save them!
Reblog and spread the word!
Stamps can also be purchased via phone, online, or even by fax.
