USPS must fund retirements but Private Sector a no go!

If that's what they want, then they shouldn't object to an expansion of SS into a universal retirement system with shared pay-in support. No doubt they'd find a way to game that into a 'we-pay-nothing, you-pay-all' deal.

We can't have that.

What we need is a compliant, job scared workforce that will work a double shift with no notice and then clock out when they hit 38.5 hours for the week so that we don't have to pay them any OT or give them any benefits. All that for fucking minimum wage.

I do not know why people want to go after the Post Office.....
my wife being from the Philippines I realize how safe and secure our system is.
Mail anything from the United States to the Philippines via regular mail and their corrupt postal service will open it up and look for money,etc. One has to send it private cargoe or pay a lot of $$ for Fedex or DHL to get anything sent there to the actual person.

I love the Post Office. I mean now you get tracking free on media mail what else could you ask for?
