@@lexyswope Wow! That is actually wonderful news for once. I read up on Ms. McBath and I cannot find anything about her that I don’t love! It breaks my heart that she lost her son in such a pointless and ignorant way. As terrible as that was instead of wallowing in self pity she determined be a part of the solution so other parents wouldn’t have to suffer the loss of a precious child. And that certainly is not all that she has taken on! Healthcare, education, veterans, LGBTQ equality! And more! She’s a force of nature! I’ll be honest with you. I’ve been interested in politics my whole life. My dad and I used to have great discussions about whatever was going on politically. My younger son caught the bug too and graduated Magna Cum Laude from UCI with a degree in Political Science. The speaker at his graduation was President Obama! Anyway. I used to be a republican. Until 2010. The tea party and all their insanity changed my mind and I became an independent. When trump was elected I was devastated. Quite frankly I wasn’t a big fan of Ms. Clinton but she was certainly better that the dumpy little reality “star”. I voted for the libertarian. I just could not vote for that misogynist trump and I wasn’t quite ready to vote democrat. I was so distraught about the travesty of that xenophobic bigot in the White House that I boycotted the news and politics until shortly before the election in November 2020. So I was unaware of anything political until I could see a light in the tunnel. I proudly voted for Joe Biden. It was a vote against trump. But it was also a vote for President Biden. I refuse to blindly vote without knowing who or what I am voting for. I looked into Mr. Biden and became convinced that he would not only be a vote against trump, he would be the leader that we need in these difficult times. I’m impressed with him so far. The two party system has failed us. Neither side is perfect but compared to this criminal group of seditious liars that call themselves republicans the democrats look like saints. Anyway, I’m trying to catch up on everything political that I missed during my trump boycott. It looks like some good people came to office in spite of him and his minions. I doubt I’ll ever vote for a Republican again. There is no place in this world for their fascist policies, hatred and lies. Thanks for filling me in on Lucy McBath. I’ll keep an eye on her. She is doing good things for all of us!

[@HiThere-yr9eg]

I love Katie Porter, but it's congress's fault that the USPS is going under. During the Bush administration congress passed the Postal Accountability Enhancement Act (PAEA). This is single handedly responsible for the current USPS problems. Repeal that legislation and save the post office!

This. Unlike any other entity in the friggin universe, the USPS was forced by congress to PREPAY pensions going forward like 80 years or something ridiculous. With that hamstringing their budget, it's no surprise they're deep beyond red, basically fiscal infrared.

The POTUS doesn't directly hire or fire the Postmaster General, it has to be done by the Board of Governors within the postal service. Currently the 6 members of that board are all Trump appointees. Biden has just recently nominated 3 new members for the Board, but they need to be approved by Congress.

Its laughable Congress talking about spending money and the last time they got involved in the po was the last year they had a profit I have a idea take the postal service out of the control of the government and they will do much better I work for the po it's a joke if we had another vehicle my po could save 80 grand a year

[@s0515033]

The post office wouldn't work as a truly private entity because it's required to do things private businesses would never do because it's not profitable. To make it profitable would make it more expensive and cause it to worsen service.

[@maskon1724]

That’s a stupid idea. With your logic we should privatize the military since they don’t make a profit either. The post office is a public good and equalizes communication between all persons in this country.

"[Postal Accountability and Enhancement Act] reorganized the Postal Rate Commission, compelled the USPS to ~pay in advance~ for the health and retirement benefits of ~all~ of its employees for ~at least 50 years~ [HALF A CENTURY] and stipulated that the price of postage could not increase faster than the rate of inflation." Oh, and any marketing innovations are ~expressly~ forbidden in the text of the law. Is UPS or FedEx or any other service inexplicably burdened with having to pre-pay 50 years (that's FIFTY. PREPAY FIFTY YEARS. ) of pensions and benefits? Or forbidden from marketing anything beyond postage? No wonder its in a death spiral. USPS was intentionally financially hamstrung and actually competing with private sector was prohibited, as per Bush-era congress. Any idiot, barring congress apparently, can see the nonsensical PA&E Act needed to be nuked from orbit before the ink dried on it.

Agreed. Katie is great at grilling people and articulating their uselessness but in this particular clip, that didn't happen.
