The USDA was certainly not spared the doge axe, they closed offices all along what will soon be the battlefront in this war.

Tell me you're American without telling me you're American. That hasn't been an option where I am for nearly 2 decades.

I just rewatched Earth Girls are Easy last week and that'd be on my list.

90 minutes of prime Gina Davis in a bikini doesn't hurt either.

Why is it ALWAYS the sports companies?

Public services are also required when providing a service to service level expectations wouldn't be profitable otherwise. We expect and demand that the post office deliver to every remote outpost in the country for whom there is no alternative, regardless of expense. Those deliveries could be anything, including something like medication. If you privatize it, a private company would immediately and naturally cut loose those unprofitable routes.

So in that way, it is an awful lot like healthcare. If you consider postal service a right, then it's functionally no different.

Privatization of liquor in Alberta has worked out amazingly well. Booze is cheaper and there's a liquor store every 100 meters, some open well past midnight. It's an alcoholic's dream.

There's always recycling. Or changing that final character from a 1 to a 2, etc. The human brain just cant handle the complexity otherwise.

The US could take over Canada in an afternoon. But the ensuing guerrilla insurgency would be unlike anything the US has ever experienced.
