Damn I love seeing this. And man do I want to see postal banking.

I love USPS, the story of it, and the man who made it real. Franklin's writings about the USPS are arguments writ large for good government by sober and reasoned people. It's a deeply patriotic act to support this institution.

Sorry, I get all excited. This is cool. I hope we can rebuild it to its former might.
