For what it's worth, we let bridges crumble, communities sit without clean drinking water, and are intentionally bankrupting our postal service in the hopes of being able to privatize it. So I would say the Internet is being treated about the same.

If you're thinking of Flint, you may wish to update your reading material. It's possible your talking points could be more up to date.

It took them the better part of 4 years to bring clean water back to Flint - they only ended their bottled water program in April of this year. Those who were there during the crisis will be living with the consequences of lead poisoning for the rest of their lives. Odd that you view something this recent, and of this magnitude, as an outdated talking point.

Anyway, Flint isn't the only place in the US with water problems. https://impact.vice.com/en_us/article/wj4qvx/these-us-cities...

But the government shouldn't be able to run postal services! Socialism something, something, Venezuela, uga buga!

This is entirely disingenuous, the United States Constitution explicitly allows the federal government to run a post office (Article 1, Section 8).
