Wussification of America

That's right

 

Did you read the links?

 

No, I'd rather waste time watching Ellen.

 

This was a deliberate tactic (typing ".....yes") to get people other than me to acknowledge that the USPS is not costing us money. The USPS has come up before on this site, and folks have argued with me on that point. I have come to realize the only way to interact with an overwhelmingly conservative population is to manipulate them into initially arguing my case for me.

Note how by me initially stating that the USPS received tax dollars, it has sparked immediate response to the contrary. In the past, I say they don't and their burden on the US taxpayer is a myth, and I get immediate responses to the contrary.

 

It is interesting

 

Yep.

Vandy topped out.

 

All started with letting American kids play soccer IMHO!

 

I laughed.

 

FWIW, the only two responses you got on that were from me and HH. Not exactly a bastion of conservative thought.

 

And yet I don't see anyone but Jay and Unimane chiming in when the bastion is out in force.

 

I usually only chime in about facts.

This business is rarely about facts.

 

But you know me. William Koch Gingrich Buckley.

 

Yeah

 

Oh, right. Facts should only be shared when they are agreed upon.

 

If I see something that I don't think is correct, I usually comment on it.

If I see something that I don't think is right, I usually don't. Unless I think it's racist/bigoted, it's about sports, or droski posted it.

 

you got the conclusions from the crap you linked?

 

your clever tactic simply showed that you follow worthless media tripe and reinforce the silliness you spout as gospel. The pensions aren't overfunded enough to fill the hole, but you've assumed somehow that's the case. The argument that the service shouldn't pre-fund is simply kicking the can down the road to future insolvency as hordes and hordes of municipalities are seeing today. The freaking pensions are also a part of the retention and union idiocy that has beset the postal service with hordes and hordes of high time worthless employees who can't be fired.

The case for semi privatization and competitiveness would immediately cream the unions. Find something else to hold up as a respectable government management model, as this one is broken, though gov't mandated pricing has helped fill the gap.

 

Not familiar.

 

Horseshit. Have you seen how much stamps cost?

 

free no?

That pesky pension is free too? Wonder who negotiated that? Must have been the taxpayer.

The tax (stamp price) increases over the last couple decades have been almost purely to fund horsecrap union driven pension requirements and continued operation as usual in the light of enormous throughput decreases.
