Nearly all social media is full of ~~eco~~ echo chambers.. I still post and follow stuff on several of the platforms. There is very little nuanced conversation..

The problem is, if you set the cost to be actual cost incurred, then anywhere remote or rural will be ridiculously expensive

Well I am not saying each letter, more that the system as a whole needs to be making profit in one area to carry the loss in another.. At this point we have way more places to deliver to than people sending regular mail.

I believe that every job should be sufficient for someone to live comfortably on
