Agree with this.

Plus, no "bill" to attach PSP to / or extend from for the PSP until House and Senate 1) Agree, and 2) Send it to President for signature

One is in the constitution and is there to provide a service (United States Postal Service), the other is a corporation there to create profit for shareholders

The founding fathers specifically mentioned airlines as part of the national infrastructure. John Adams himself was a huge supporter of air travel.

I’m still trying to figure out what does or does not go through a batch process after that last email.

Yet, here I am, still trying to figure out what a “batch process” is. (insert Napoleon Dynamite saying “idiot” here)

It would be nice if the union used both paddles to row. Instead of just the one that the senior 787/777 pilots tell them to use.

I was just texting with Abraham Lincoln on that very subject, after supper today.

It could be replaced by FDX, UPS, etc. Or at least have to compete with them. No reason USPS should have a government monopoly in the modern era.

I just got this text from T. Jefferson on post offices and post roads. He’s against the idea.

[QUOTEHave you considered all the consequences of your proposition respecting post roads? I view it as a source of boundless patronage to the executive, jobbing to members of Congress & their friends, and a bottomless abyss of public money. You will begin by only appropriating the surplus of the post office revenues; but the other revenues will soon be called into their aid, ][/QUOTE]
