So what's the bug up everyone's ass about USPS? Apparently that's their next target and it would be awful having to rely only on FedEx and UPS. Complaining about the postal service losing money is dumb because it's a service, it's not meant to be profitable. Kind of like complaining that the military runs at a loss.

It has an incredibly powerful left leaning union, so the whole thing is politicized. To the point that they were actively and publicly assisting in the rigging in 2020 in places.

There's some stupidity about demanding it be profitable or at least cost-neutral, and from what I've heard it's pretty stupid... but... Union. Unions lie. Unions lie a LOT. I don't know if it actually is being fucked over by stupid racist senators from redneck flyover states like they say, but I will note that's exactly how a leftist Union dickhead would describe it, so...

why the masks? I have noticed it a lot with the deportees, they're usually wearing a mask.

Makes it harder to ID them when they get caught again, and again, and again...

That and/or remember these are lefty NGOs helping them do all this shit, and they're Branch COVIDians. They still want you wearing a mask as a shibboleth.

USPS is the cheapest way by far to send lightweight packages under 2-5 lbs. If it gets shut down it'll cut down on spam mail, sure, but it will hit individuals and small business owners the hardest. Shipping is really expensive when you're not a giant corporation like Amazon using bulk deals with the mail carriers to undercut everyone else. It'll just put the boot even harder on the necks of small independent companies trying to get their stuff out there without having to give all their profits to Bezos in the process.

In addition, USPS services obscure or hard to access addresses that other mail carriers won't service because they're unprofitable. (For example FexEx Smartpost, where FedEx will hand off packages to USPS for final delivery to certain places.) To me, this seems like one of those cases where it makes sense to have the government step in and take the financial hit to ensure basic service for its citizens.

There's a ton that could be improved with USPS but I really hope they don't toss it out entirely. Go after the bloated DoD spending or something before gutting something that the little guys directly use all the time.

Grok3 is fucking amazing for this sort of stuff, it's worth the 8 bucks a month even if you don't really use twitter. Here's what it said:

This
there's a lot of media my wife likes that I'm generally meh on and she's similar towards my stuff
I can at least not be morally appalled at her stuff and hang out while she watches stuff, and we have a mess of stuff that we both like and enjoy together

Like that Simpsons about differences being skin deep but sames to the core

One of my core memories of Hooters was standing outside the restaurant with my friends and classmates from college whenever there was some major boxing match featuring Floyd Mayweather, Manny Pacquiao, among others like 10+ years ago. The crowds of people outside Hooters during those times were insane, and other people would be dying to grab a table to just scarf down wings, chug beer, and enjoy a hyped up boxing match. No one gave a shit about Hooters waitresses when sweaty men were beating the shit out of each other on a PPV event.

Buffalo Wild Wings probably has better quality stuff, but neither BWW now nor Hooters nowadays are willing to air PPV combat sports events on the restaurant TVs. That’s a bigger travesty than landwhale waitresses who bring overpriced wings and beer to the table.

My only Hooters memories have nothing to do with the restaurants. My parents were obsessed with going to Las Vegas every month to get drunk and waste a fuck ton of money, and as a kid and teen I was dragged along constantly and forced to sit in the hotel room doing nothing for a week. There was a solid 2 years where the Hooters hotel was their preferred hotel because it was cheap and across the street from the MGM Grand.
I didn’t even get to eat at the proper Hooters inside, I was only ever allowed to eat at the subway down the street.
 
I sincerely hope that Reddit is handled and some of those insane leftoid subs are dealt with.
Full on insane conspiracy theories that Butler PA didn’t happen and calling for the military to hold a coup.

These fuckers gotta be dealt with.

Trump has done almost everything we wanted him to do, and seems to have listened to the h1b stuff. That h1b stuff shows Trump will listen to backlash, that's far more important to keep in mind. If you want to be very worried about Vance, that's fine, anyone that isn't at least a little concerned about Thiel is a fucking liar or a moron. Don't let the apprehension overshadow the record pace of gettign what we wanted. Folks were livid over the "let the US take gaza" as they should have been. But it faded fairly quickly. Look how many people that were ready to say it was all a failure, too goddamn stupid to take a wait and see approach over stuff adn was ready to flush the entire 4 years. Same with Iran, how often has retards pissed themselves in rage saying that Trump was gonna go to war with them.. Don't be stupid, just listen and watch and be ready to push back and hopefully trump is gonna listen. His ego isn't going to let him go down as the dude that fucked us all over, it's in his interest to do right by us.

This is a good post. Has trump actually walked back the h1b thing or did he just stay quiet about it? Just curious, I’m not able to stay 100% up to date.

Either way, this presidency has been well beyond anything I ever thought possible and it is beautiful.

I think he's trying to compromise on it.

Yes you can work here.
No it won't make your child an American citizen.
Yes you actually have to know what you're doing.

It's not far enough but it's a damn site better than anything we could hope for under Kamala

These guys all have free drugs. And I know you don't want to hear "those aren't the kind of girls you want," but if you're looking for a wife, the girls who are in it for the free drugs really, REALLY aren't the girls you want.

Maybe it’s worse these days, but in my life I only dated one girl who did opioids, and it was pretty easy to spot because she suddenly was like “cry cry I need a few hundred dollars cause my car”

If someone asks you for money, and you offer to try to fix the problem without spending money but they insist they need money, it’s instant nope. No harm, no foul, just nope

@TarragonRespecter I wasn’t calling him retarded, I put it in the middle of the sentence as a “fixed it for you” thing

I seen a blurb somewhere yesterday about him fixing the fixing the issues with it, and making it harder to hire out talent. I heard a large fee being attached, and limits on certain countries. I got the impression less pajeets and more from european countries.
