    This was actually something that was started at the end of last year by Obama, and has been needed for a very long time. It has just taken this long for the meetings and paperwork to be completed.

    Actually they are, each year they pay an amount equal 1.45% of personals salary to fund a future medical needs. The employee gets that medical care at older age and they don't even have to retire from UPS or FedEx to get it.

    No they have not, that is a lie put out by the postal union. Go read the 2006 law requiring the funding set aside and the US public law dealing with government personnel and funding.
    The 75 years is a requirement for ALL government agencies and it is for for accounting planning. It is the way the government plans if they will need buildings, personnel,etc.
    What the 2006 law required to the postal office to do is start to set aside money to ensure that they can provide the benefits that they obligated themselves to for employees. The USPS use to pay for health care was to just pay out the requirement amount each year, the 2006 law required them to start setting aside money to make sure they could meet those obligations. The law makers in 2006 saw that there was decreasing need of the post office and they would have issues providing the funds in the future so they required them to start setting aside money to pay that need. Why do people have an issue with making sure that employees get what they were told they would get?

    Data analysis came up that investments made by some lady who lives in China were weird. Checking the phone calls to the brokerage company found they were coming from his phone. From there they found them being mother and son and then he was married to a lawyer involved in the legal work. Then they subpoenaed his searches from yahoo and google.

    They have no authority over drugs. If they or similar looking items are found local police are suppose to be called and they investigate and arrest. That is from the TSA web site.
    Not sure what the testing would be, but the stories that you do read about are when the drug carrier puts the drugs in peanut butter or similar substance which should be stopped because of the liquid base. They could be testing drugs that way to see if the TSA agent detects the liquid product and to see if they steal the drugs.

    No it is just worthless and fits in the climate change thinking where talking about something, as they want you to talk, is the thing that is important.
    The technology already exists and is for sale so if they were really interested in climate change they could of set the date to three to five years and then really sent the signal to the auto industry.

    One part to read in to it is that that ruled on it. Historically on this limited time executive orders they have just ignored them.

    "Oxford Martin School" releases research papers under the school name from multiple scientists.
    Carol Smith also does more that journalism, including research which makes her a scientist under current climate research definitions.
    That is surprising for David Brubaker since he has been working there for years, but then again that link does not list people listed on the John Hopkins web site as working for them, so it does not look to be complete.

    Tesla does this for other cars of theirs. For instance the Tesla S is sold as a full size luxury sedan. If you compare it to other full size luxury sedans it is not even close to features, size or comfort-ability. However they claim that they are the best selling full sized luxury sedans, which they are. If you take the sedan and do a feature comparison it is a good mid-sized luxury sedan however in the sales in that segment they are not in any top sales.
