   @ageha if corporations have to only do what increases value or possibly get sued, then there is an obvious problem with making the postal service private which has an explicit requirement to service unprofitable places

     @sun @ageha it can still be profitable, it'll just be the densely populated places subsidizing the far-away, sparsely populated places

     @lain @ageha I know that strictly speaking a business can do that but in practice as soon as it has shareholders there’s going to be constant pressure to stop

     @lain @ageha does every delivery service have to do that or does the government pick one

     @sun @ageha in the 'competition' concept that people have i'd just make a law that everyone can deliver mail but they have to deliver it anywhere in the US.

     @sun @ageha @k only for a state-run company would it be worth mentioning that a monopoly is running a profit

     @sun @lain @ageha I do wish post office employees were more likely to be fired though. They're lazy AF.

     @k @lain @ageha that is true but before republicans put onerous rules on their pension funding it was still running a profit

     @lain @ageha @sun We already have laws like this in other industries. Very possible to do.

     @k @lain @ageha for me this is just the kind of thing government is good for, it works well, it’s constitutionally mandated, and the people in congress attacking it are dishonest so I’ll stick with the status quo.

     @lain @ageha @k what’s the downside of forcing people to be healthy you guys sound really regressive

     @lain @ageha @k hmm if the government already basically through policy makes people sick I wonder if it would want to make us healthy, this is a problem

     @sun @lain @ageha @k The machine of oppression that is necessary to force people is going to be inevitably misused once in place. That is the downside.
