Dem. Primary - 1st stop Iowa

[D-train]

What an absolute cluster fuck. The party that wants to implement government run healthcare can't even report simple results.

The postal service is perfect....They just need to eliminate fed ex and ups and it’s all good...lol

Check this out. I mailed this rent deposit two day priority mail Tuesday afternoon at the Kirkland Post office and now it is late because it sat in Seattle for almost 24 hours. Now it is late.

I had never heard of Meloise in Cincy

Even Democrat leaders questioned the idea of applauding Richardson.

"I am very glad the county prosecutor and judge reconsidered and got her out of jail, but she is not a hero," Hamilton County Democratic Party Chairman Tim Burke, who was at the rally, told the Enquirer. "What she did was criminal conduct and was particularly problematic because of her role as a poll worker."

Hamilton County Democratic Party Executive Director Caleb Faux, who was also at the rally, saw it as an attempt to portray Richardson as a martyr because of the lengthy sentence.

"There is some validity that the sentence was too harsh," Faux told the Enquirer. "But I don't see how you can hold her up as an example of somebody to be proud of. What she did was reprehensible."

I feel like there can be voter fraud at an individual level, but it also doesn't seem out of reach that the numbers could be fudged at a higher level e.g. report an extra 1,800 votes with a dumb excuse ready in case you get caught. I never completely trust any of it, but I've been casting ballots anyway. (at least 3x per election)

She's an absolute LEGEND back there in Boogeytown Ohio. She's got a prior criminal record no less. The Dems in these "wonderfully vibrant and culturally enriched" parts of the USA could deliberately seek out people like her to work their precincts. The worse that will happen if she gets caught is she gets some free medical, free cable TV and an all expenses paid reunion with dozens of her fellow Democrats

I never really felt like my one vote made any difference, so I started tripling up.

Here is the latest on my 2 day PRIORITY Mail letter. So in about 52 hours it made it to Portland, OR from Kirkland. At this rate it will get to Boston in about two weeks! F-ing unreal. I paid $9.60 for this!!!

So I just got back from the post office to ask why my 2 day priority mail letter had not even made it 200 out of 3k miles after 2.5 days. She says because I didn't pay for the guarantee for it to be there in 2 days. I only paid $9.60. That would have been $26!!! She said I only get the ability to track it and $50 of insurance on a $4k cashiers check for the $9.60!

F-ing insanity!!!

UPS seems to be the best. USPS is the only option on eBay if you want to instantly print the label, plus it's cheaper. I've been using USPS a bit more lately.

Remember that USPS is basically a private business...

The U.S. Postal Service is not a tax payer funded organization. Instead, USPS receives its operating cash from business revenue. Stamps, packages, PO Box rentals, and other revenue generating activities fund operations.

So, it basically operates within a capitalist market. It's just not the premium tier. It's like wearing Skechers instead of Nike.

Let's put it this way. I will never wear Sketchers again.

A private business would see the direction and either fix it or shut it down. The model is outdated and seriously in deep shit. New residences are continually adding to the routes and costs of retirements and bloated infrastructure remind me of the veterans administration. Bloated and lazy and not talking about individual postal delivery people. When your sales are falling due to the internet and competition and you don’t adjust.....well good luck with that

DT..Imagine the resources they must dedicate to handling 1000s of botched deliveries like your's everyday. Next time put the check in a great big box the size of a toaster oven and ship it UPS.
