rich people are the ones who methodically financially crippled the post office, for the day when they can get some idiot president to either pass it off to them for almost free, or to completely dismantle it so as to leave the private competition having the whole field. ask mitt romney- that's the mode of operation he uses to get all his riches in the private sector. better known as vulture capitalism. repubs have been methodically privitizing ALL our public institutions for decades. schools. prisons. military. public lands. infrastructure. it's always the same game plan: choke off federal funding until the thing can't function, and then point at it screaming "it doesn't function!". the new twist under donnie 'the businessman' is to repeat ad naseum that "it loses money!" as if a government service, funded by taxpayers FOR taxpayers, can LOSE money. lose who's money? lost to whom? who would it MAKE money FOR? makes no sense. can a fire department, police department, highway fund, LOSE money? as seth says, these morons are trying to trick trump's "low iq" fans into believing that a government can be run just like a private, for-profit business. without ever stopping to consider that a private business has one goal: to make money for the owner(s). if the federal government was run to make a profit, where would that money come from? who would it go to? duh.

I've watched several of his speeches and question - and - answer sessions and of all the candidates he seemed by far the one with the most well thought - out answers. He actually had coherent and specific policy suggestions and could explain exactly how he thought they would work, and was clear on what he wished to accomplish and why. He also comes across as one of the rare politicians who acts from personal principle and conviction instead of party ideology, and is driven by a genuine desire to improve life for the citizens. ... As a German I cannot understand how so many Americans seem not to grasp that there lightyears of difference between the government sticking its nose into every little private matter (which it should not do) and the government taking some responsibility for the welfare of its citizens (which it definitely should). If you weren't collectively so reflexively allergic to the word 'socialist' you'd see that many basic socialist principles are merely humane principles and have nothing to do with dictatorships a la Stalin. "The measure of a civilized society is how it treats its weakest members." You can overdo the individualism to the detriment of society. We have such a thing as a collective responsibility to one another if society is to function and individual freedoms do not come without limits or obligations . I have American friends who tell me they hope they never get seriously ill because your health service is being run like a for - profit enterprise and patients have to cough up hundreds and thousands for routine procedures. Where I'm from we have mobile health clinics that set up shop in locations like railway stations to look after vagrants many of whom would never go near a hospital and this is state-funded. Most taxpayers are happy about this. I cannot understand people who would VOTE AGAINST more accessible healthcare, etc. Sanders would have made a great president, compassionate, rational, a man of integrity, whose arguments have substance. What's more he's still sharp as a tack while the current nominee clearly shows some intellectual decline. I cannot see how Sanders was not elected to the presidency last time round either, to be honest. We'd likely have voted him Chancellor to take over after Merkel. Good look with bumbling Biden and stay healthy, everyone 👍👍😏 PS I currently live in the UK and Bojo's Conservative government and their pandemic response has been an unmitigated disaster for much the same reasons as it's been across the pond.

And the sad thing is, the education system is subject to that same type of capitalism, so there is no educational foundation for a broad middle class.

Trump said the election could be tied up in litigation for years. He's setting up his eventual excuses and conspiracy theories. He's offered no solutions to "problems" with mail-in voting. He's obviously creating problems with the post office. He lied and said he didn't meet with the Postmaster General and doesn't know what he's doing - cutting overtime, removing mail sorting machines, and removing mailboxes. Trump is sending out his own absentee ballot requests to North Carolinians, complete with his picture and disparaging remarks about Dems. It's an obvious attempt to suppress votes. Anyone who returns one of those requests is a fool. Get the official state request. He asked Russia, China, and Ukraine to help him win, even by investigating Americans. He said taking foreign government help is okay. (It's illegal). He says it's "oppo research" (when HE does it. When opponents do legal oppo research on him, he calls it treason). It's likely Russia will attack the election. Obama prepared for a cyber attack on election day. I'm pretty sure Trump hasn't, and Putin knows it. In 2012, Trump said Obama would start a war with Iran to get re-elected. Apparently, Trump thinks that could work. It wouldn't surprise me if he did that. Turnout favors Democrats. 50% of voters won't vote for him under ANY circumstances. He's never reached across the aisle, and never had a day with over 50% approval. He considers everyone who didn't vote for him an enemy. He HAS to cheat to win, and he's doing just that.

And for the record the bloated corrupt pig’s den that is the US military has done *NOTHING* to help Americans during this the most challenging time for America in over 100 years. Well that’s not fair, they did abuse their power and terrorize citizens rather than provide assistance and use these tragic times to expand their power far beyond the legal limits. So there’s that.

Just a heads up to everyone for km jr's post of the opinion piece. This is why the dig happened - "The remark, a reminder of how Obama tends to stumble when he gets off script, was made during an August 11 town hall on healthcare in Portsmouth, N.H., as the president tried in vain to defend the inclusion of a "public option" alternative in his reform package." This is talking about Obama's healthcare reform package. Keating was a president of the National Association of Postal Supervisors and this is the paraphrased letter from the article in reaction to Obama's statement- "taking the president to task in an August 14 letter for using the post office as a "scapegoat" and for failing to account for the overtime, management, and work-hour reductions the USPS has made over the last year. The paper went on to note that Obama's comparison of the private companies with the post office did not take into account the lack of a level playing field between the entities. "The Postal Service has to contend with unions, lawmakers and the Postal Regulatory Commission and as a result, can't raise prices or close facilities on a whim the way its private-sector counterparts can when mail volume plunges," the paper said-which, while a robust defense of the post office, is not exactly helpful in the context of the president's vision for healthcare reform." Edit: I made some of the sentences into paragraphs to make it a bit easier to read. Read the full article yourself (it's about 3/4 of a page if that) so you can draw your own conclusions, I'm giving more context for their quotes that's all.

Charles Talarico So, I know why the democrat city logic makes sense to you. Dems run the cities, so seems like they are responsible. But cities,both democrat and Republican, have long had limited control over their police owing to national policy. The “tough on crime” movements started by Raegan and Nixon shifted the Overton window to the point that sweeping national policies were passed (by both R and D presidents). These policies include funding, types of training, types of equipment, and sentencing practices. So while the cities have local governments, those governments have very little capacity to actually influence their police in the way you are referencing. Also, the protests have been nationwide, with large numbers in cities of all parties. The targeted federal response has been in democrat cities though, as apparent political retaliation.

I worked at the USPS as a temporary worker in a processing plant for the holiday season. They bring on a lot of temporary help and we all spend 2 months working 12 hour days with no days off just to make sure all the mail gets to their destinations on time. The Postal Service can handle getting all the mail-in ballots of every registered voter across the whole country back to their recorder offices on time, if sorting machines aren't being destroyed and workers are given overtime, and all the other things.
