My doctor won't be able to save my life if his life depended on it and I am not the cause of entropy which means yes - no matter what I think we're all doomed.
It really doesn't matter what system you put in place people are always going to game it and therefore abuse it.
You can get the best and the brightest to create it but they'll always be unable to think of the myriad of ways others will come up with to game it.
In short we're all doomed and there's nothing to be done about it.
However I do understand we have to do something with our oversized brains so go ahead - knock yourselves out bantering about how to fix these unfixable problems.
"but where do you put 16 million people?" - Just move them all to Israel since that seemed to work so well before for a group of people which claimed they had no nation.
And I think you misunderstand what the deniers are denying. They are not denying that climate change is occurring. They are denying that the climate change is human-caused. They deny that there's anything we can do about climate change to stop it. But they're not denying the climate change themselves. Therefore when these mis-informed liberals make a move to get to a safe place what's more likely is that they'll find these 'deniers' already there, camped out, with guns.
Some people live 'there' because they can't afford to live in more expensive areas which are actually profitable for private couriers.
so there's a fundamental issue with your solution and that is that poor people will not be able to receive mail - a constitutional right that the government is therefore mandated to 'much about with' - because they can't afford to live in more heavily populated areas.
The ridiculous retiree benefits mandate handed down from congress is pretty much the sole reason for this unnecessary debacle.
No other organization is required to provide such an absurd level of retiree benefits payment so why is this insanity allowed to persist in light of the fact it could potentially doom the USPS?
The relentless perpetration of massive lies is far more important than the content of the ridiculously headlined post in this case especially since the actual article is not even titled that way.
For such misinformation to be allowed to perpetrate without calling it on a forum where people know a hell of a lot better is ludicrous.

It is only the population which increases.

But you're free to continue pretending otherwise.
Doesn't mean we have to go on handing even more tools over to them.

What I don't understand is why we would have to settle for a choice of one or the other.

Is that why there's first, second, and third degree murder charges and convictions then - because it's not a matter of degree?

Who would be surprised to find out in 10-20 years' time it's discovered that steroid use is what they mean by 'statistics key'?
I smell carbon credit speculation madness just over the horizon.
And let me tell you I'm having a REAL hard time having a hard time with global warming.
Bring it on, is what I say.
Locally grown bananas would be a-ok with me.
Since we all already know what's down there there's no point in even bothering to send the robot.
Just like out of this world, man.
I bet that'll never work.
And gentrification isn't increasing in cities either...

And what about the people who live in places that are too expensive for privatized couriers to make a profit serving?
What are they to do, take a flying leap?

Entropy means there is no way out, regardless of the -ism you go with.
After all that's the only tme they're actually not going down the toilet.
Oh yeah that's right - they can't.
