Why don't you show how much money they "lost" before the bill was passed in 2006 that requires the post office to pre-fund retirement plans ahead 50+ years (over $5 billion every single year)? Which, by the way, no other governmental agency is forced to do. The post office MADE money every year until that bill was passed and it was steadily lost money since then because no agency - hell no private company - could keep up that sort of demand. That part is always conveniently left out when people bash the post office. And why are you claiming that it "cost taxpayers." You realize the post office gets no tax payer money for operation costs, right?

Yup, you're right on. But they do get subsidized in the form of tax breaks, incentives, and low interest rate loans. Again, it cost the taxpayers something.

My point in all of this, the government can't run anything...as proven by the USPS.

…we are fast approaching the stage of the ultimate inversion: the stage where the government is free to do anything it pleases, while the citizens may act only by permission; which is the stage of the darkest periods of human history, the stage of rule by brute force.

Jim Harboro OK with no fans

He’d be better with no reporters.

Things like this completely baffle me.

I hope he recovers fully. I guess hard drinking doesn't increase your risk - it might be the practical alternative to ingesting bleach.

If the hard drinking leads to other health issues I would imagine it does.

My consumption has gone up in the last few months.

That's pretty obvious. I was referring to Dye's proclivities.

Jeff Allen's spent alot of time with Coach Saban, you can tell by his mannerisms/hand movements.

Not a fan of the "In This Together" verbiage.

Bad News Here

46 cases and 1 death of a province of 110,000,000 ..... Sounds like ammo for our media to keep bashing our president for opening the economy .

Trump hasn't opened anything. He keeps strongly urging it but he has no power to force states to reopen. And I'm sure a newspaper in India has a lot more on their plate than trying to make Trump "look bad." He gives people plenty of ammo all on his own.

Went to the dentist this morning.

I had to call from parking lot when I arrived. They met me at the door, took my tempature, and had me fill out a 2 page form with various health conditions due to COVID-19.

They didn't use the mechanical scaler, they used the manual one (hand tool) for cleaning. Lots of additional safety precautions.

Just totally ignored the fact that a place with 5 times the population of New York was shut down due to 46 cases. That would be like New York shutting down cause of 9 people getting the virus and someone thought that was front page worthy ? ......

I just found that very odd , maybe some kind of ulterior motive ? More than likely..... Was the thought about it being to effect trump in a negative way wrong , maybe ...

But if you get off on bashing President Trump at “ANY” opportunity, go for it .

But he'd get all the blame (like he's already getting) for pushing it...

I would imagine in China "46 new cases" really means like 5,000 new cases lol But I also would imagine anytime a bunch of new cases pop up they freak out, too.
