I'll say again: we are oddly selective about the government services about which we will say, they operate at a loss.
We say Amtrak and the post office "lose money" but we never say highways, the court system, the Pentagon, etc lose money

The USPS posting a NINE BILLION DOLLAR LOSS!!! sounds terrible. Certainly worse than if you said "USPS costs thirty dollars per person per year" even though that means the same thing and more accurately describes a government service

If you call it a “male immaturity epidemic,” a very different set of phenomena come into focus, as this thread shows
I'm starting to wonder how much "the male loneliness epidemic" is just straight and bisexual women identifying low-effort, mean, and incompetent men and choosing not to date, marry, and tolerate them anymore

Someone needs to explain to me like I'm 5 years old how 2 pairs of sharp, metal knitting needles in my shoulder bag makes it thru TSA security, but a mousepad in my carry-on sets off alarms. And yes, I've gone through security before with the mousepad in my bag with no problem. 🤔

This is critical because liberals have coasted on this exact excuse for not going big on anything. There is no reality where Democrats just win everything for a decade straight. "Just vote until we get 60 senators and two Supreme Court Justices die at the right time" is not a plan and never was.
I don't think it really has much to do with what Ds do; you can't win every election.
the key is whether Ds are willing to crush fascism while in power, so that when Rs win they're no longer a fascist party.

I fear, though, that without substantial changes in how the Democrats approach politics we’re going to just keep pinging back and forth between the parties as incumbent after incumbent gets tossed in response to unrelieved and unaddressed suffering in the general public
