- Tax dollars pay for military. Military is government funded. The post office is not. It’s not government funded or managed.monospaced
- USPS is funded by postage sales.monospaced
- ZERO tax dollars go into a the USPS. It has no impact on the government bottom line.monospaced
- If they are funded 100% by stamp sales, where does the billions they lose annually come from?Gnash
- Let’s find out.monospaced
- So, it is a federally run business. I was wrong, it is government. But they claim tax dollars aren't used to fund it. The losses just add to their debt.monospaced
- Ya, either way - it’s a service, not a business. Gov’t should subsidize, I believeGnash
- Congress passed a series of laws under G.W.Bush making management of the service very difficult. They also have a mandate to deliver everywhere, which puts azarkonite
- large financial burden on them. Something none of the private carriers are forced to do, and they don't cuz it's not profitable.zarkonite

This mail thing is funny. I could never imagine a Conservative MP in the UK saying that mail in votes are fraudulent, because all the old people that vote Tory send their votes in by mail.
- Ya, it’s a bit odd. Maybe I don’t get how it works in the states but it seems like an obvious solution considering the f’ing PANDEMIC!Gnash
- We are a fucking clown show over here when it comes to our ability to handle simple absentee mail-in ballots. There's less than 3 months until election...PonyBoy
- ... and we barely have a few systems in place for our absentees... we are fucked if we think we're going to have a viable system in place by Nov.PonyBoy

- ^The Atlantic typically leans left—even they have to admit our absentee mail-in system is shit (there are ballots still not counted months after an election)PonyBoy
- “This is what happens when you jury-rig a system that hasn’t been designed or implemented or tested before.”
—New York election officialPonyBoy - He was speaking towards 'The chaos' in NY regards to their tiny mail-in absentee issue. Imagine 50 States / 100-300+ Mill. possible ballots. O_OPonyBoy

I wonder what Trump will do post-presidency. Regular dial-in guest on “Fox & Friends”, I suppose. But what else.
- I wonder if he’s excited to get back his freedom to pay for sex.nb
- It's Saturday Night. Live from the jail cell in New York the most corrupted president ever..zaq
- If you think Trump’s going to jail for something he did while President, you’re completely clueless to how the world works.nb
- Putting Trump in prison would be admitting that American democracy can elect a criminal and nobody really wants to admit that.nb
- create his own media outlet, branding it the only place that isn't 'fake news'. His entire presidency has been obsessed with it.inteliboy
- Yup, he'll fill his 'station' with conspiracies and nonsense, but he'll rake in the bucks and continue to be a disease for America.formed
- He'll become head of the Church of QAnonfadein11
- A media blitz, full of him slagging of anyone and everyone who slighted him in the last 4-5 years. Then after a couple of years, the media rehab ala. GW Bush.face_melter

Nugget from yesterday's Senate Intelligence Committee report. Kremlin-directed operatives opened champagne when Donald Trump won the presidency in 2016...
“We uncorked a tiny bottle of champagne ... took one gulp each and looked into each other’s eyes .... We uttered almost in unison: ‘We made America great,’” one operative at the St. Petersburg-based Internet Research Agency said in the message obtained by the Republican-led committee.
- And the GOP mouthpieces kept doubling down, month after month, year after year.
And it's all on record. For the world to see.monoboy - The blowback will be most marvellous.monoboy
- At this stage, an confederate uprising wouldn't surprise me.monoboy
- Let's hope the Dems keep a sense of perspective and we don't escalate things with Russia.monoboy
- Not in this report:

- You'd still be getting your healthcare from a bureaucracy-run group of fucks (think DMV, 'mericans). You'd be a fucking number... not a patient.PonyBoy
- I just wish they'd find a way to get the prices down.PonyBoy
- Sad excuses. That's like saying 'why bother eating well and exercising, wearing seat belts, etc., etc. we all die sometime'formed
- You are a fucking number...a cash cow that continues to pay more to corporate machine. Until that's taken out, you'll be a dumb number paying more and more.formed
- I disagree... I don't pay into any corpo machine... I actually pick my Doctors based on my research and needs (limited to who's in market cuz of fuck Gov regs)PonyBoy
- My Doctors listen and work w/me and don't just tell 'maybe you should just... take a pill' (-Obama circa '14)... we work together and I'm willing to pay for it.PonyBoy
- You let the Gov 100% take over and we are fucked... like going to the DMV or anything else Gov Run (post office etc... all SHIT w/many lazy fucks there...PonyBoy
- ... for a fucking paycheck/insurance). Those who work in any private biz go out of their way to 'service' you. Gov run shit (in the States) treat you like shitPonyBoy
- So I'll say it again... please find a way to get the prices down.PonyBoy
- PB, DB it's just sad the shit you spew. If you only would know how good we have it here with healthcare, and no, never a number.tank02
- said tank number 2
Dude... Have you been to the DMV, your Post Office or any Gov office lately? Try to get a fucking simple permit?PonyBoy - Try to get someone worth a shit from the IRS on the phone—see how well your tax records are kept—get a feel for all the 'fucks they don't give'...PonyBoy
- ... as it takes literally YEARS sometimes to get them to get you your fucking documents. SHIT SHOW.PonyBoy
- Look how great we handle our simple absentee ballots—we can't even gather up simple pieces of fucking paper and tally them w/out the bureaucracy fucking it up.PonyBoy
- PB, should gov't set pricing limits on healthcare? It doesn't matter but I've never had issues at the DMV, PO is a wait sometimes - no big deal.dorf
- I didn't download the working plan. Think I caught on to the absurdity of the article though. Says Medicare for all will cost 32 trillion. Which pointed out********
- Max taxes on rich can't even cover. But that plan is less than ten year projection of current costs with some hypothesized numbers.... So we should spend less?********
- I'm a big supporter of Medicare for all. Currently our Medicare budget is larger than most nation entire social systems. I say keep it at it's high % and expan********
- D or spread that money to cover 100% not 15% but everyone and than see if coverage is really the issue********
- Maybe than we can get in to wage caps for doctors 50k seems fair and nationalized controls that offer edu cheap but uwork like military in u are owned and move********
- But phan would think locking in 17% of current GDP which covers 15% of pop. To increase care when spread to 100% with no limits? If not how much would you raise********
- The GDP percentage knowing we spend more than anyone?********
- Always the real questions I never get answers for from ppl who support ideas and think some sort of alchemist can turn iron to gold********
- dorf... no prob w/the Gov regulating cost... that's what I'm asking for (get the prices down). However, I don't want them running the entire show. Yikes.PonyBoy
- Ponyboy. Gov runs show now. What are u exactly hoping for?********
- And as dorf setting price limits. What stops a gov from setting prices below cost? And what does that do to innovation? Or real market supply and demand********
- A politician doesn't care about a drug cost not related to them. They care about projecting to a majority. There is no incentive or relation anymore for supply********
- And demand. So now manufacturers produce what isn't good for patients but politics********
- It's the Achilles heel of the gov controlled healthcare. No gov official looks out for u better than u do********
- Hmm always crickets when faced with real numbers********
- Can u provide that math?
