Oh going to hold up a sign?

Next they'll be saying that about the military

As a postal worker in WA, I'm going to be honest: many of us will leave if things get worse at the post office...and privatization will make things much, much worse. We're already drowning under what Trump and DeJoy started.

Of Course he does, and I’m sure he knows the people to do it, him and Bezos, they already joined in a lawsuit to end Unions, might as well take out the quasi government agencies with Unions.
Not only do we need not privatize these, Congress really needs to consider who it contracts with.

Put him on one of his exploding rockets. If that doesn't work, send him back to South Africa.

Been asking this question to quite a few reps, still looking for an answer: if Musk doesn’t have proper security clearances, why aren’t we arresting him? I can’t just roll into any federal building, why can he and his team of tech teens?

Don't even THINK about it!!

Also, then who maintains the railroad? Who owns the land on which the railroad lays?

mike-s-anderson.bsky.social•1 day ago

I’m assuming he wants to buy them?

Tech billionaires like Thiel and Elon Musk are pro-kleptocrat oligarchs.
This is what we are witnessing—the firing of the federal workforce and the deconstruction of the administrative state. Expect disregard for court orders soon because they are coming.

liberatedwoman.bsky.social•1 day ago

He means he should run them. Like I said he wants the one ring to rule them all.

Hope you notify your fellow congressmen and congresswomen. This cannot be allowed

Let me guess, he has a delivery and train service arm of his brand to rescue us with 🙄

Maybe if you send him a message on pink paper or hold up a little paddle he'll back down.

I'm pretty sure this is their goal for all the stuff they're trying to get rid of. NOAA, this, etc, anything that they can sell to the highest bidder who can then make a profit from us for it is going to be up for grabs.

He would love to purchase them, promise to do magical things with them, collect billions from the federal government, and deliver service that’s half as good.

gameofcrones.bsky.social•1 day ago

For a hefty profit

And please tell us your plan of action to stop him. The postal service dismantling started under his first term. Was anything done to protect it during the last administration knowing this was their plan?

bamwonky.bsky.social•1 day ago

Tell us how to fight this! It's been their plan. Biden should have done something about it in 2020.

Pattern
A) Say something public about an agency
B) Do something stupid to break that agency

Get your lawsuits ready.
USPS is how I vote.

We did that in the UK and it was a terrible idea, privatising water even worse. Our beaches are covered in poo now.
