44. No, once again bipartisan neoliberalism supports short sighted vested interests and upward transfers

of wealth, income, and social services

The Obama administration is neoliberal. So is the GOP only they are too crazy to be adult but the situation is so bad the crazies may control, our government after next election.

I live in the extremely rural area where I grew up and now live in old age. The town I live closest to will retain its post office. There is no home delivery, only PO Boxes but there is a Postmaster. My great Uncle was Post Master for 30 years and the PO was part of my parent's general store when I was a child. An actual Post office was built in the late 50s. The three closest "villages" will lose their "Post Office".

Each of the 3 communities were once larger and had actual post offices. The "post offices" closing comprise PO Boxes and stamp machines serviced by contract mail carriers with no actual PO employees. The plan is for the contract mail carriers to drive past the existing PO Boxes and stamp machines and the People will have to drive from 8 to over 35 miles to get their mail. Many of these people already do not have cell, landline, or grid electricity. Ironically, a main internet "tube" is buried under the road of homes that have no grid electricity, cell, internet, or landline access unless by expensive satelite and now their mail will be more distant.
