stidmatt.bsky.social @stidmatt.bsky.social · 18/12/2024The funny thing is... if we abandoned the prefunding of maximum benefit pensions at the post office, a requirement put in place by the Bush administration, the post office would be profitable. 010

Bartłomiej @bartek47.bsky.social · 18/12/2024Departament of Defense is not making money either- you don’t see GOP complaining about that;) 110
As Sparks Fly Upwards @fitzjohn.bsky.social · 18/12/2024Ah, come on. If Eric Trump can make money, *anything* can make money. 000
Bryght @bryght.bsky.social · 18/12/2024The same should apply for required healthcare...Any medical procedure beyond elective enhancements, plastic surgery etc, should not be profit driven! 020
Bob A @onkelbob.bsky.social · 18/12/2024Yes! And this needs to be understood as well, Ben Franklin recognized in founding the the post office, that it may not run as a profit making enterprise, nevertheless the return on investment is hundred-fold. (BTW - early postmasters were choice presidential appointees, just like customs officer.) 050
Annaliisa Vilppu @annaliisavilppu.bsky.social · 18/12/2024Trump’s casinos couldn’t even make money so why is he picking on the Post Office? 120
Schimelsal @schimelsal.bsky.social · 18/12/2024Look up Curtis Yarvin. He’s one of several Silicon Valley gurus on politics & governance. He says democracy is dead. He says people should be ruled without a voice by a CEO who is accountable only to “shareholders”, tech bros & wealthy. Each geographic area would be a corp. run by an oligarch CEO. 100
Gabby @gabby0219.bsky.social · 18/12/2024Government is an advocate for the people. It’s not a for profit business. President Biden understands it. Trump believes USA government is there to make him rich. I voted for the competent woman to run our country. 130
Sparky MD/PhD @neurospark.bsky.social · 19/12/2024The post office is a service. Not a business. And it’s in the constitution. 010

maco1987.bsky.social @maco1987.bsky.social · 18/12/2024The USPS was the victim of financial chicanery when they messed with the pension funding. As usual though one of the culprits was pre funding health care premiums. Something unnecessary if we had universal health care paid via a tax. (Similar to what everyone else does) 020
Giggles The Squirrel @gigglessquirrel.bsky.social · 18/12/2024The post office is like the military. Show me where the military is making a profit. The post office is a necessary part of our national security!! (Which is, of course, why libertarians like Trump hate it). 010
Giggles The Squirrel @gigglessquirrel.bsky.social · 18/12/2024Libertarianism is a mental disorder. There’s a reason why greed and gluttony are sins in the Bible. 001
Kenny Mac @thermion7.bsky.social · 18/12/2024Beginning to realize the term: "The American Dream" actually means "Profit over everything, including humanity". Education, Healthcare, Information, Nutrition, Justice, Equality etc. Are not inalienable human rights in this country... They are commodities to be sold for profit. 041
Rock Mondo ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ @rockmondo.bsky.social · 18/12/2024Spineless Centrist Swine despise a world where there is anything their Boss cannot buy. And their God Loves them for it. The best thing about me is I don't always say what I think. Then there are days like today. 010
