One thing that you maybe don't hear much about is that the postmaster general, a person appointed during Trump's first term, a person with major conflicts of interest, has basically been wrecking USPS from the inside.
Mail delivery has been getting worse year after year, and even more so in small cities and towns and rural areas.

forgot to mention how often in the past few years I've had mail/packages show up mangled/damaged, or never not show up at all, my/our mail getting delivered to the wrong address, getting other people's mail (sometimes for people that don't even live on the same street!), etc...
This used to almost never happen.

I don't think that's just down to Trump and the USPS. The private couriers can be terrible too. There are all sorts of horror stories about one over here called Hermes who rebranded as Evri to try shake off the bad reputation. The gig economy's causing problems.

But there's now a Department of Government Efficiency, to make the government more efficient, so I expect everything will start getting better very soon.

I always think those shops of people in Moscow queueing for the first McDonalds in Russia is one of those things that you can't see without knowing that Capitalism and America had won a complete and total victory.

There is an extremely chi-chi shop in town here that sells very nice (and obviously very expensive) cheese and cider and stuff like that, and some days they also have sourdough bread, and today there was a crowd of, honestly, about 50 people outside in the street, queueing for their bread.
It made me think that capitalism had somehow achieved the very thing that became famous in the west as one of the most enduring symbols of Soviet socialism.
You know it has gone way downhill when even Republicans are fed up with it, too. This guy can't even get _certified_ letters (where you pay way over the cost of a normal letter), addressed to places that are between only 2 to 11 miles from his house, delivered properly:

Yeah I remember reading a lot about him - Dejoy - being expected to try and sabotage the 2020 election. In general the US approach to the mail service seems similar to the Tory tactic of starving the NHS of funds and then complaining that it's underperforming and using that as an excuse to privatise it.
With post it got worse and worse in the UK as it became less and less important. I think both were cause and effect, or more simply it was a vicious circle. In Victorian times people in the same city (if it was London anyway) could converse almost like with emails as there were several collections per day and so correspondence that almost amounted to a conversation was possible. By the time I appeared there was only one post and it came early in the morning so people could get it before work. But soon it was coming at 10, 11, 12... and then of course nothing urgent was sent by post and the percentage of junk mail increased hugely so it phased itself out as anything of any value at all was sent by DHL or whatever. Which brought its own problems of course.
And I see a similar thing with email. That was once THE way to get in touch quickly but as numerous other ways of messaging appeared on your computer and then phone email became the snail mail of its day, I hardly ever get anything important by email and if I do its buried amongst loads of junk mail... or stuff that's not strictly junk but which isn't worth reading.

I guess it does feel like a neoreactionary government in many ways and it does also feel like one in which lands vision of china and the us locked in an exiztential struggle to realise ai (which will ultimately subjugate both) is a driving force behind a lot of whats happening.
And in that sense both sides are fighting for the same future.

west africans have totally disappeared from downtown. when it gets warmer maybe they'll still be congregating outside the mosque in the east village. for a couple of years every delivery dude i saw coming in and out my building was west african. there haven't been any in the last couple of weeks. assumption is that they're making themselves less visible to ICE and getting deported

one of the broken things is that in the media / commentary you never hear from them. you just hear from people speaking on their behalf. the west africans have been very visible if you use your eyes but pretty invisible online

So we're all agreed, once there were two competing ideologies which were represented by the US on the one hand and the robotically totalitarian Russian/Chinese on the other - and that's been replaced by the one ideology the control of which is being competed for by the US and Russia and also China? It's a seductively neat solution for sure and I think it has at least an element of truth to it.

Also, if the US wants to insulate itself from Russian/Chinese disinformation, propaganda and hacking, it seems to the only way would be to set up a national-level firewall that blocks any traffic containing certain words, phrases or images, and to block foreign search engines, social media sites and mobile apps. In other words, to give up any pretence on being a 'free' country and become just as restrictive as Russia and China.
