Do they even have to? All trump will have to say is that the guy is a great patriot and will invite him to next SOTU.

Congress could easily pass a law giving them access instead privatizing.

Actually it looks like the private delivery companies is they could they would prefer USPS do the last mile delivery and in fact they do that for the cheaper offerings.

From following video with raw footage they initially used a poster, but seeing that Tesla would just plow through it they built the styrofoam wall for a better effect.

It shows they didn't even watch the video. The only reason Mark used autopilot was because without it the car failed the simplest test.

The test was with a kid being in the middle of the street and Tesla didn't even stop in time.

I think this is from the fire in Los Angeles this January. The hot wind was 100mph (160km/h) and made the embers fly for great distances.

From what I understand that's how USPS operates too. It generates enough revenue to be self sufficient and is not receiving any funding from the government.

Don't know any nation that does, but also US already has FedEx, UPS, DHL and others. They could deliver letters if they wanted, but they don't think that's profitable.

The privatization looks like it's essentially stealing all assets USPS has.

BTW there are protests about it https://nalc.org/march23 I recommend to attend them.

Reminds me of https://theonion.com/cia-realizes-its-been-using-black-highlighters-all-thes-1819568147/

This is related to all the other sentences in the do not obey in advance lesson. Basically if government wants to be tyrannical don't offer help in any way.

For example one thing current regime is trying to deport illegal immigrants, don't contact and delete on them. Or DOGE tries to do something illegal and you give them access.

BTW here is reading of the book, the lessons without context can be ambiguous

If you can please support the author https://timothysnyder.org/on-tyranny/

No, the book teaches how to spot tyrannical government attempts to get control and how to prevent it from succeeding. The more people are aware of it the harder it is to do it.

Here's someone recorded an audiobook https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLJfmMQGc3lnIQFSxEHyCrenv4e9GiZfpx

Though if you can, please buy, to support the author, the book is like $8

I had some document with information about protests and I think it had section about how to protect yourself. If you want I can look for it.

I see a lot of people missing the point and concentrate on the Tesla.

The real issue that should put shivers on a spine is that people without any due processes (which is a right given by constitution to anyone living here, including illegals), against court ruling, sending to a prison in a FOREIGN COUNTRY. Not local prisons but essentially human trafficking people to El Salvador.

This is a totalitarian shit, this is similar to what Nazis did (sending Jews and other undesirables to concentration campus outside of Germany).

With this post he tries to send a message that if you go against him, you could even be a citizen and they still might send you to El Salvador's prison.

And we only needed, like what? 3 months?

I think it is easiest to do the same thing MAGA did. Redefine the party. Primary out all corporate Democrats. We can easily stay with those that don't do anything to help us in current crisis.

Most importantly though we need more progressives to replace them: https://runforsomething.net/
