Trump eyes privatizing U.S. Postal Service, citing financial losses​

Trump feuded with the mail agency in his first term. Privatizing it could shake up consumer shipping and business supply chains.

“President-elect Donald Trump has expressed a keen interest in privatizing the U.S. Postal Service in recent weeks, three people with knowledge of the matter said, a move that could shake up consumer shipping and business supply chains and push hundreds of thousands of federal workers out of the government.

Trump has discussed his desire to overhaul the Postal Service at his Mar-a-Lago estate with Howard Lutnick, his pick for commerce secretary and the co-chair of his presidential transition, the people said. Earlier this month, Trump also convened a group of transition officials to ask for their views on privatizing the agency, one of the people said.

Told of the mail agency’s annual financial losses, Trump said the government should not subsidize the organization, the people said. …”
It's a public service. It's not supposed to make money.

Do they still have that unrealistic pension funding plan? I think that's what it was. Seems like at one time they were having to fund employee pensions/retirements or something like that atypically in advance.
 
15M settlement says otherwise. No one thinks Trump “raped” Carroll.
The settlement doesn't exonerate him. It simply says that ABC used incorrect statement in relation to that one case. You are a lawyer, you know this goes no further than that specific case.

My understanding is that several women accused him, but for one reason or another they didn't go to court. Why doesn't he sue all of them if he really didn't do anything? He has the money to go after them if they are lying.
 
You have a sad little existence
Au contraire. Actually having a wonderful time today relaxing at my beach house. Things are looking up for Heels’ bb team and UNC just hired GOAT Belichick!

Trump is on an absolute ROLL. Notice the fun that was had by all at the Army Navy game.
 
About time. Still a damned big hole to get out of. Interesting that it was them and not Congress who got the blame for the massive debts. Always thought it was an attempt to force everything into private hands.
You thought correctly.
 
It is objectively tragic how little credit Biden - like him or not - gets for anything, considering how monumental some of the changes he helped enact are.

Meanwhile, a morally odious man unfit for any office gets (and takes) credit for anything that goes right, even if he had nothing to do with it.

I sincerely hope history is kinder to him than even those in his own party have been.
 

So we know the Congress and the courts will not protect us from the establishment of a fascist "government", and now we have further evidence that the free press 4th estate will not stand in the way.

Our democracy has had a good run. I think our democratic republic has the longest run of Constitutional republics in history...236 years.

I guess it had to end sometime...

I posted this Tytler Cycle illustration a while back, but to your point, it's relevant:
