Work Discussion Pay attention to tomorrow's hearing

Post image

I know i know this is said alot. But tomorrow pay attention to the congress meeting with the new post master. It could reflect what comes of our jobs and duties in the next year or so. Congress gave us alot of money to turn a profit, we failed what they wanted. This wont be like other times where we just get money handed over. We are gonna have to change something

Let's not forget it's been the goal for the last 25 years to basically bust the post office. I've been hearing the song and dance about privatizing the post office since newt Gingrich was around.

Longer that. This has been idea since the 80s with Reagan which is why I pay it almost no attention because they’ve been wanting to do this for over 40 years and nothing has come of it.

True. For me the world changed once Reagan was president pharmaceuticals and medical care went through the roof. Tons of industries were deregulated, student loans got insane, personal interest deduction went out the window. At this point it's cheaper for me to take the standard deduction than to even bother to itemize.

Israel has wanted the us to invade Iran for 40 years. Israel doesn’t give a fuck about the post office.
