Twitter’s going to roll out an option to report a tweet as “insufficiently inflammatory” any day now, and there’ll be no more of this sort of thing, just you wait and see.

with many older relatives who live in rural areas the impact is real. Other than SSec checks everything delayed. Mail prescriptions. Invoices. These folks don’t do this stuff online And when schedules get disrupted they get anxious. Meaning they expect stuff on a cadence FWIW

Presumably you do have strong opinions though about whether people who vote by mail have their votes thrown out due to sabotage of USPS that pushes their votes to not be delivered by the deadline?

I kind of hate it but I have a personal moratorium on criticizing it until after the electionhttps://twitter.com/elidourado/status/1249707575203041280 …

@mattyglesias once had a great tweet about how the international experience shows it doesn't really matter whether it's privately or publicly operated, other institutional features matter more. European social democracies have excellent private postal services

What’s not to like? Heroic founding; a true public service so if you live zip code, you can get medicine (or vote.) Cost efficient even after Congress did the thing where they uniquely have to pay everyone’s pensions for 1,000 years. Amusing banter at the counter
