Louis DeJoy, the Postmaster General, has been intent on running the USPS into the ground. DeJoy owns millions in stock from companies that compete with USPS. The Postmaster General is elected by a Board of Governors, but it is speculated that he was pushed by the Trump administration, which typically appointed administrators who wanted to end the thing they were actually in charge of.
As soon as DeJoy was put in charge, automated equipment was taken off line and scrapped. People were laid off. And policies were put in place that my local letter carriers called, "Delivering yesterday's mail tomorrow." I have no idea why that guy has been allowed to remain in charge.
We don't need to privatize the USPS. We simply need to fund and manage it properly. When you think about it, business needs the USPS to run well. So part of the corporate welfare that government is so fond of providing should be the proper funding of the USPS. That's one thing that would benefit not only businesses but the rest of us too.

I went to Tremblant last week and the north side was pretty decent. Vermont was having a garbage season until the day before yesterday, with this snow coming through this week I think it will be good to go. BTW, that was my first time at Tremblant and I had a total blast.

Looks like fox. Recently ID'd similar prints in my own yard with a trail cam.

Reddit has spoken OP . The algorithm is just fine . Even the politics are similar . The dominant majority bullies and denigrates the minority because they have god on their side .

Obviously it wasn’t. A jury heard and saw more information than you ever would/did about this case and acquitted the cop.
Do you have inside info or is it just ACAB cause that’s what discord told you?

I'm perfectly good with respecting people for who they are and what they identify as. I have tolerance towards anyone as long as they aren't hurting others. I'm even tolerant of ignorant inbred cousin fucking hicks. So yeah I am a pretty good person. I don't have tolerance for racism, bigotry, honoring, or transphobia. Look inwards.

I only saw your complaint about the algo because the algo showed me it from r/vermont as similar to r/Wyoming… top notch

Okay. To repeat, the best way to avoid asbestos is to not go there. Lmao

I live in Vermont but grew up in North Carolina. We drank moonshine and smoked weed while partying in the woods with bonfires. I think you are describing a lot of rural America here!

I mostly agree with you, but I was thinking about how we are clinging to a dying industry when I read this: https://www.sevendaysvt.com/vermont/some-lawmakers-say-vermont-should-consider-a-milk-price-premium-to-help-struggling-dairy-farmers/Content?oid=37393636

Yes damn straight i wish i had been born a POC of color! When i was looking in HS at grants and loans there were page after page for POC, didnt see shit there for white folks. That left the private sector, again i would have an instant foot in the door in any place i chose to apply at cause the Co. would get tax breaks to boost me..no i had to BS my way into jobs. So no you aint gonna change my mind on that.
As for your friend, well yeah police DO have a bias and again that is being addressed everyday as time goes on, ACAB as far as im concerned tbh.

We should support it for the same reason we support roads and bridges, fire departments and police departments. Those don't make money for us either. But they provide essential services so we fund them. We should view the USPS the same way. It's an essential service.
