  • Again with the “losing money” narrative. It doesn’t lose money, it costs money.

    Now. Does it cost so much more than ever before? I don’t know. And if it does, why is that? Good questions.

    But if it doesn’t cost proportionally so much more but we all stopped buying stamps or using the paid services it provides to subsidize its operational costs then that would explain the deficit. Otherwise we’d need to ask more pointed questions, I’m with you on that

    But you can’t slap “basic reforms” on something when you don’t see or understand the larger underlying picture past the sensationalist headline and that’s unfortunately the point where most people stop asking questions








  • Thanks for actually providing a rundown instead of just downvoting.

    While I understand that some people can be upset about this, I don’t typically keep up with this sort of stuff and seeing it mutate from one article to another while discussing more or less the same things (mostly protections, rights and such) does put it in the same mutable box of flavours for me.

    The fact that the community as a whole can’t even come to a consensus of which one to consistently use signals (to me) instability and infighting rather than a unified power in diversity.

    I’ll check the article and read on about what this one specifically signifies but the people who don’t bother saying anything because their whole life revolves around this, and know the ins and outs of it all, really need a wake up call from the ones who at least bother asking or are open to discussion about it rather than just shunning/downvoting them and moving on.
