Another thought, the Post Office was considered to be so important to communication that in 1775, the U.S. postal system is established by the Second Continental Congress. So the government felt that communication was too important to be left to private groups. Imagine if the mail to President Washington was stopped by those disagreeing with President Washington.
So the question for today, has our new forms of communication become too critical to be handled by private companies? Is it time to Nationalize these forms of communication? Just asking for a friend.......
