SHitler wants to privatize USPS [View all]

https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2024/12/14/trump-usps-privatize-plan/

They intend to 'privatize' the entire fed gov't. That means destroying what's there, emptying the fed treasury into their pockets + the social security trust fund, too, so they can monetize everything to benefit themselves, leaving us with/ no functioning gov't and destitute. THAT'S THE PLAN. Count on it.
