You say that like it's a bad thing.
Why does a hill billy who insists on living at the bottom of the Grand Canyon deserve a subsidy? That public money would be better spend helping poor people.

I'm going to say this nicely once instead of the reply I really wanted to say because I'll give you the benefit of the doubt of not knowing or looking it up. Because it provides postal service to the Havasupai people living on their native land at the bottom of the Grand Canyon. Would you like to take a guess as to why Supai, Arizona, the capital of the Havasupai Nation, is located at the bottom of the Grand Canyon.
- eru 4mo agoEh, just give them an absolute subsidy in terms of money, if you think they deserve it.

- eru 4mo agoThen they can use the money you give them to pay for the mule.
- s1artibartfast 4mo agothat doesnt explain why it is better to spend more money than less.
