It's cute you two haven't put in a disclaimer the bet is off if there is no presidential election in 4 years.

Because quite frankly, assuming there will be a presidential election in 2028 is at best a 50/50 proposition.

Don’t post shit like this. The postal service is in article I of the constitution 

Article I of the what?

In my defense I said kinda important, but yeah when someone who will be President in a few weeks is talking about trying to disregard the Constitution prob need to see it even if its allegedly dementia induced verbal diarrhea

The people who need to see it don’t care. They made that clear last month. 

Remember Trump’s first term? He would float all kinds of crazy shit that the press would report. “Trump considering…” And the media would fall for it every time. And then a lot of the destructive shit he’d do quietly after 5 o’clock on a Friday with no fanfare.

I’m with Sawbonz that Trump isn’t likely to privatize the USPS. I think it’s more of the same kind of bullshit that he floats in order to generate outrage and distract from other destructive bullshit. He’s a fucking troll and the best way to respond to trolls is to ignore them. Unfortunately he’s also about to hold the most powerful office in the world again so we’re forced to pay attention to his bullshit because some of it he’s going to actually do. It fucking sucks that we have to go through this again because our fellow Americans have such short memories.

Fortunately Trump is a lazy, incompetent moron and privatizing the USPS would require attention and effort to which he’s disinclined, and it would have negative repercussions with his rural base so he’s not likely to go through with it.I doubt he really cares that much and the Republicans in Congress probably aren’t in to it. But if it grabs a headline, he loves that.

All part of that firehose of bullshit he loves to spew in order to desensitize us. He’ll destroy a lot of shit but he’ll talk about destroying even more. And remember, the first thing he wants to do is cut his own taxes further, use the DOJ to attack his enemies, and start deporting brown people. He’ll privatize the USPS as surely as he’ll build a wall and replace Obamacare.

It's because the USPS is a service. It's not a business and isn't designed to be a profit center.  Once you decide to start monetizing services like this, we will be properly fucked.

If government services were truly run as a profit making business instead of the socialist enterprises that they are, rural America wouldn’t have ANY services including hospitals,  water, or electricity.  Keep fucking  around get what you voted for.

parts of the russian govt were sold off after the fall of communism. this led to the rise of ‘oligarchs’ 

imagine selling off parts of the us govt, in a much much more prosperous country. this could be the game plan at work here. 

rural america is maga land. they’ll gladly over pay for once a week (maybe twice a month) mail service because it’s making the libs cry and draining the swamp !

I don’t think that cleared up anything. “Ignore the trolls” is the least understood rule of how-to-internet on this website. Surly trolls are well fed.

Imagine getting lectures on how to internet from the guy that fills out a  spreadsheet every time he walks into whatever corn based poverty grocery store predominates   

Someone in Reddit called Trump "Pumpkin Spice Palpatine" and I really can't think if a better label.

The postal service will be a good bellweather of how Elon and DOGE’s performance. If they publicly focus on the USPS it means they either are failing elsewhere or they never were serious. So I expect the will be talking about the USPS constantly.

DOGE isn’t supposed to just be about cutting costs. It’s about waste and the USPS provides a great service to many Americans.

and for anyone anti-postal service, you can easily opt out if you dislike the service. Seinfeld was wrong. You can opt out by just never checking your mailbox again and don’t mail anything. Email or send via one of the private services.

The USPS stuff never made sense to me because how are they going to get around all the pensions that are due to retirees? You take away people's pensions and Elon better hope he has plenty of security to not get Luigi'ed by an angry former mailposter.

Yeah postmen are high up on the list of groups you don’t want pissed off at you

What the fuck.

Just get rid of changing the clock twice a year and alter your fucking school/work start times if you want.  

Whether school starts at 8:30 am or 11:30 in Arkansas, it don't mean a shit.

Just drove to sugar land and back and the trump signs are back with a vengeance on 71. Hell, there’s two small prop planes outside some place that are painted with dotard and Harris’ names and the Harris one’s wings have fallen off. Very clever magats.

Yeah, the reviews on that place pretty much say don’t stop unless you are white.

I just drove up and down 71 and I saw the planes. They are outside a classic car place. That was the only mention of Trump I saw on the up and back.

Those planes have been there for years. Dude paints them with whatever his shitty political message du jour is.

LOL. Yep. I haven't been that way in a while so I haven't seen them painted, but that place was what I immediately thought of.

Now, this is bullshit. I make that drive pretty regularly, and the number of signs pre-election vs. post-election changed bigly. It's like they all waited for the Trump win to show their ass... which makes a lot of sense actually.

You should document each one next time you make the drive.

When the sun rises and sets relative to the clock has a lot to do with your position relative to the longitude that your time zone *should* be centered on. During daylight saving time, which is now nearly 2/3 of the year, that longitude line is shifted another 15 degrees east. So, during daylight saving time, if you have to get up at "5:30" so you can get your kid out of bed for school, you're actually getting up at 4:30 in Houston or Dallas  Austin is west of 97.5 degrees, so people there are getting up at 3:30. 

 

That really fucks with people's health. And in a place like Texas where seasonal variation really isn't that big, it's entirely our own fault.
