People can take two things away at once. Indiana is just as corrupt as ever (but in this fun new flavour!) and the reason you use USPS over another carrier is that USPS has federal protections and UPS/FedEx have none of those (and also they are bootlicking scum)
Your response seems to be "why don't people use the government backed service" and not "wholy shit I live in a Kleptocracy"
It seems to be a combination of victim blaming (thier fault for not shipping with USPS) and the normalization of tyranny (if the states ever wanted to water that liberty tree now would be a good time).
I mean, it's kind of like intentionally pulling out in front of someone running a red light. Yes, they were in the wrong. But you're going to get fucked regardless. Sometimes you can simply choose to avoid the problem because criminals gonna crime.
Good grief, what is this even supposed to mean? It's not baiting with an image macro it's performative commenting surrealism!
Well I was going to make a well thought out reply but the weird American view point of living with literal government theft just left me a bit dead inside and needed the laugh.
