Well, you're welcome to embrace any dogma you want, but this one is completely out of step with American history--again.  The Founding Fathers and their offspring enthusiastically spent government funds on hundreds of miles of roads (e.g The National Road), canals (e.g. The Eric Canal), and harbors.  The next generation, both at the state and national level, feverishly financed,  subsidized, and gifted government land to build thousands of miles of railroad lines (e.g. Transcontinental Railroad, The Illinois Central RR).  When the automobile was just beginning, the federal government built any number of interstate roads--national roads--beginning as early as in the 1920s (The Lincoln Road) and extending through the trillion dollar--and on going--Eisenhower Interstate Highway System.  The entire nuclear industry--from medicine to power generation--was a completely government development and funded industry; as was the development of radar (at the federally funded Rad Lab at MIT) which exists on every river craft, ship, plane and--in a modified version--on every new car; as was the computer industry when the government hired and funded IBM to develop the first advanced computers to run and manage NORAD, and then developed, funded, and standardized the internet; as was the recent developments in genetic editing and resulting medical therapies--at government financed labs at Berkeley, MIT, and Harvard.  If you think that the government--both national, state, and local--have not funded, subsidized, and otherwise supported new technologies, you are just showing your ignorance of American history--again. 

The internal combustion engine received trillions of government subsidies, in the form of federally sponsored road networks.

Are you that ignorant?

Actually, stupid Boiler, what I've been saying has zoomed right over your head. An "efficient" post office wouldn't serve rural communities and isolated customers. That's why it's not a for-profit enterprise. The post office does not exist to make money.

Universal health care saves money. I won't argue that with you. There are hundreds of examples worldwide---and Oregon has had it for three decades.

You're an idiot. 

FedEx delivers nationwide, so there is reason why an efficient post office wouldn't 

Oregon does not have universal health care. They have the Oregon Health Plan which offers free health based on income. 

In 2019 they passed a bill for a task force on it, but nothing has been done. No state has universal health care. 

Kevin is either lying (again) (delusional as usual) or doesn't know what is happening in his own state. 

Um, road building companies build our roads.

No one can be refused coverage in Oregon, including if they can't afford it. Everyone who wants coverage can get it.

So wrong again, dumb fuck.

And if you think FedEx would ever deliver a letter for the price of a first class stamp...God, you're stupid.

Don't pretend to be so obtuse as to not know that most roads are and have been built under government contracts.

You look like a fool when you try to ignore reality.

You don't really have to try to be dense--it's obvious on a daily basis.

If government was in charge of technology decisions for the music industry , we would all be enjoying 8 track technology today.  Never let government decide what technology wins.  It's a stupid losing proposition 

You're completely ignorant of this country's history, aren't you?

(And what's even more hilarious: much of the technology used by the music industry today, including digital recording, was first developed by government agencies.)
