(12,448 posts)for days now, it seems clear that you have no interest in facts and are merely seeking to keep your misinformation and personal agenda visible in GD.
You have not addressed any substantive issue raised, nor have you offered any solutions. Your personal grievance with the Postal Service is insufficient cause to justify wrecking the best mail system and prime example of how well government can work, even when continually sabotaged by a faction of corporate parasites that seek to enrich themselves at the expense of the whole nation.
Further, before you go around calling other people Luddites, you should probably avail yourself of some education as to whom the Luddites were, what they did, and their reasons for their actions. You are simply further exposing your own ignorance.
Despite their modern reputation, the original Luddites were neither opposed to technology nor inept at using it. Many were highly skilled machine operators in the textile industry. Nor was the technology they attacked particularly new. Moreover, the idea of smashing machines as a form of industrial protest did not begin or end with them.
