Know that I wasn’t doubting you, I just didn’t want to get my hopes up for nothing.
Here’s the next radical idea I’ve heard; have the post office offer simple banking services.
Wow, I had no idea that they actually fixed the problem that they created.
Sad that they’re still going to privatize it along with every other federal agency…
