Why do we have to "Work so Hard" to make a living?

84. And sadly, many places in rural areas in this country don't even have a cell signal.

My parents do not have affordable access to high-speed internet or a cell phone signal. When the floods came thru with that hurricane last year, so many in VT were stuck without access to the outside world. AND its due mainly to private companies unwilling to spend money because the costs of bringing in towers and cable lines is more expensive to install and maintain, than the company's would make in their quarterly profit columns. This is where privatization doesn't work well enough.

The Post Office is a govt entity and will deliver anywhere even if it costs them money to do so... and yet the private companies and Republicans have done their best to try and destroy this public entity that actually works (most know about the insane amount of money they must pony up for retirement bennies for current and all future employees like no other company or govt agency has to do) so that the private market can take over and receive more profit... What do people think the cost of mail will be if they do drive the post office out of business? No govt competition to keep their rates lower, will allow them to monopolize and increase the costs. AND the rates will depend on where one lives and where the letter has to go... 44 cents to mail to any state? I don't hardly think so. Sending a letter across the country or from the states to Alaska or hawaii would end up costing much more money than the govt charges.
