    How can you simultaneously ask for a source like a normal adult and resort to attacking the username of an account on the internet like a kindergartener? It detracts from your point regardless of validity.

      Sooo… is that your answer? You’re just going to imply that your claim is self-evident and leave it at that?

      Because you’re blatantly wrong. If Fedex or UPS had to operate at the scale the USPS does they wouldn’t last a week and you probably wouldn’t receive your mail on time if you ever did.

      And even if they absorbed the USPS that means shipping costs would skyrocket because they’re not operating with tax money

      Fair; poking fun at your lemmy handle was admittedly unnecessary, but I thought it was a decent ribbing, given the name and what you claimed.

      However, none of that absolves you from providing where you get the information that “everyone collectively agrees that the USPS is shit” compared to FedEx and UPS and what it’s specifically “worse” at. You’re not claiming something axiomatic like “2+2=4”, you’re making broad generalizations about “everyone”.

      Of course, you can make claims without evidence and post wojak memes all day, but then “everyone would collectively know” you’re full of shit.
