@ProPublica
Its not incompetence, they might mess up the grand plan.
Its a basic rule of a crime family; you can do what ever you want as long as it is not messing with the Dons plan. another words, stay in your lane and you will be ok.

remember the grand plan, raid the #SocialSecurity , #medicare and #USPS retirement fund. These cons shall never show up in the media. As long as your cons dont impact these you will be fine.

Oh well, vote #PartyOfStupid, and #FAFO.

> NEW REPORT: 102 million Americans who live in suburbs, small towns, and remote areas would pay biggest price for postal privatization ips-dc.org/release-102-million

FTA: "Unlike the for-profit carriers, the Postal Service has a universal service obligation to provide affordable deliveries to all Americans, regardless of where they live or work. Currently, USPS parcel rates are about 25 percent to 60 percent below FedEx and UPS prices."

@sambowne

Repeating, this is not legal.

It must be able to function via snail mail.

There is no requirement that forces people to have internet access.

It goes without saying that there was no internet when SSA was created. X was not around then either.

If the US Government wants to provide free internet to everyone, fine. Hell, give everyone a free spyphone.

But, there is no fucking way anyone should have to create an account on X.

This is flat out totally illegal, and insane.

Wow.

Ten voting House Republicans have now signed on to a resolution that says Congress "should take all appropriate measures" to make sure USPS remains an independent government agency and "not subject to privatization,” including Reps. Sam Graves and Thomas Kean

I’m stunned Kean signed on to this. He’s a total trump stooge but this is good news.

The pandemic showed the #USPS is critical to this country

#BettyWhite now has her own #ForeverStamp from the #USPS , thanks to Boston-area artist #DaleStephanos .

It took him about a year to design and complete. At the request of Betty's family, he included references to her work championing the cause of #AmimalRights , the most obvious symbol being the pawprint earring.

Stephanos' image of Betty brilliantly captures her sense of mischief and fun, by perfectly portraying her joyful smile and sparkling eyes.

#BettyWhiteStamps are now available for purchase through the U.S. Postal Service.
