Except demanding that all people in the US to be reliant on the successful use and ownership of a sufficiently reliable computing device is a very real form of discrimination. Arguments of cheapening electronics can be made, but just the issues that many people are having with remote learning is pretty strong evidence to the contrary.


Subsidizing access to computing devices would be much more beneficial to society than subsidizing junk mail and online shopping.


Is it being subsidised though? Or is it actually the other way around?

I've not seen any citation which claims the junk mail part of the USPS is unprofitable.

To be clear, I hate junk mail. I've just seen this claim made a few times without citation.


What is your problem with the USPS? You've been refuted several times in this thread, but you keep repeating blatant falsehoods.
