Trump Orders Audit of Postal Service After Suggesting Amazon Is To Blame For Their Troubles (politico.com)
An anonymous reader quotes a report from Politico: President Donald Trump ordered the U.S. Postal Service to undergo an audit Thursday evening, a move that comes after president's repeated claims that Amazon is fleecing the USPS through alleged unfair business practices. "The USPS is on an unsustainable financial path and must be restructured to prevent a taxpayer-funded bailout," reads the executive order Trump issued shortly before 9 p.m. While not explicitly mentioned in the order, the president has hammered e-commerce giant Amazon in recent weeks and alleged that the company and its CEO Jeff Bezos are driving the USPS into the ground. "I am right about Amazon costing the United States Post Office massive amounts of money for being their Delivery Boy," Trump wrote on Twitter on April 3. "Amazon should pay these costs (plus) and not have them bourne by the American Taxpayer." According to the executive order, a task force comprise of top officials, including Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin, who would chair the group, will lead the investigation into the USPS' finances and will be required to issue recommendations and a final report no later than early August.
I've given up trying to get people to understand this. Let the Republicans and anarcho-libertarians burn it all down. Destroy the USPS, destroy the VA, bring on the enforced segregation, bring on the genocide, bring on the mass graves, bring on the medical bankruptcy, bring on the debtors prisons, cut infrastructure/education/public spending to zero, cut corporate taxes to zero, and hike taxes on the lower and impoverished classes to 50% or more. Give them everything they want. It's what we are now and we absolutely deserve all of it.
Bullshit. I'm a democrat and I've never met a democrat that is "for abortion". It is a ridiculous statement. Abortion is a terrible choice for a women to have to make, but we believe that it is her choice.
That would be for abortion
I find it absurd that republicans want to force people to have babies and don't want to provide health care, food, education or an living wage for the parents.
The rebulicans are not directly hiring many people so I'm not sure how they are denying a living wage for parents? Or are you one of those that think every job that employees someone should be required to support a family if they decide to hire someone?
And the "kill a baby" because they are expense argument is insane.
Why do you hate the employees of the USPS that you don't want them to get the benefits they were promised when they started employment?
Shut up.
I object to power without constructive purpose. --Spock
