It occurs to me that if the Post Office didn’t give such deep discounts to the Junk Mail senders, but rather forced them to pay closer to (like circa 70% of) the cost that the rest of us do, then we’d not have the issues either.
Of course, if they decreased Junk Mail, then I’d have issues keeping my woodstove fed, as USPS delivered junk mail paper is about 25% of our heat source for the year.
Since the U.S. Post Office is gonna cut approximately 17 % of it’s service, are we gonna see a 17% reduction in labor costs? Are all those folks gonna get their Benefits cut by 17% too?
I mean, I am getting only 5/6 of what I was getting last week. Since the service is less, shouldn’t those people who work (and get paid a LOT for what is, essentially, what would be classified as an unskilled job) get a reduction to 5/6 of their retirement and 5/6 of their insurance benefits too?
Look: somehow the USPS cannot stop hemorrhaging money. It may well be the failure of management, or it may be the workers, or a combination of both. I really don’t care. If they can’t figure out how to do it at a reasonable cost and make it at least break even, then perhaps the lot of them, managers and workers, should be tossed and people found who CAN work in a productive manner. I have never seen a postal worker with any sense of hustle. Never seen one run (unless being chased by a large dog) never seen one appear to be hurrying. Ever.
But seriously, since the consumer (that BTW, is you and me and every other resident, business etc in the US) is getting 17% less service, then are the workers and management getting 5/6 of the pay and benefits? I mean, starting at the Postmaster General and working down.
Bet not.
If not, then WHY NOT?

We need more of this. This needs to be spread wide.
The Media is shaping the message, the testimony and the attitude of the public. WHile for many, the media will not change their beliefs (for or against), there are many who will not bother to learn, but who will lap up the message that the Media gives them.
Spread the message. Email your friends who are on the fence. Show them the “Rest of the Story”.

Seriously. I think that I may have 6 or 8 deceased relatives (aunts, mostly) who had this issue.
Does anyone know if there is a game camera that can be programmed with, or that has, FIFO capability?
Night vision would be even better.
Punishing the rest of the gun owners because of what some left leaning psychotropic drug taking criminal does….
Just like the freedom of speech, the right to bear arms has always been subject to reasonable restrictions by Congress. I believe Congress has a responsibility to balance the right-to-bear-arms with the concern for public safety and stability.
One is as logical as the other.
This, apparently, can get you arrested.
Not sure exactly how they got child endangerment out of this. (We can’t see the picture, so we don’t know where the gun was pointed) and some of those BB guns can appear to be real.
Having said that….Seriously? Arrested for child endangerment because he was holding (what appeared to be) a firearm near a child?
Has our society gone that far down the rathole?
Updated:
Here is the picture. I see no endangerment at all, even if it had been a “real” pistol.
Thanks to ALEX for the help with the picture

UNTIE!
So the other day, I watched a police officer working as a security guard park his police car carefully in a “Fire Zone, No Parking” area. When I questioned him on it, he got downright pissy.
“I am a cop!”
“What the fuck gives you the right to question me?”
“How about I check you out?”
I wasn’t much intimidated, as I have no record, had nothing illegal on me, and wasn’t doing anything wrong, so he eventually let it go…As I walked away.
But really, the attitude was, at the least, extremely disturbing. He was, in his mind, somehow better than the rest of the population. Because of his badge, he was somehow excused from obeying laws that the rest of the populace is expected to. The thought that he was, in his own mind, privileged, was scary. Almost as if he were royalty, not a citizen like the rest of us, subject to the same laws, petty or not, that exist in society. As if he were not a citizen like the rest of us.
And yes, I did it to see what his reaction would be.
Yes, this has been going on for much longer than I have been alive. But not to the degree it currently is, and not so openly. Nor with the attitude.
How long are these folks gonna make it, if and when, with an attitude like that, when there are so many like us, who won’t put up with it?
No charges filed, but give ’em time, they’ll find something to justify it.
