Hmmm.... Never, and when hell froze over.  Not in that order.

So much this.  Manufactured crisis for an essential govermental agency. 

They were actually profitable before the Republicans voted in a rule that required them to fund retirement accounts for 75 years. That put them in the red real quick.

THIS. The requirement has vastly inflated the USPS deficit that’s listed in the post. Congress could fix that, but then, when was the last time Congress really fixed anything they fucked up to begin with.

It’s a crime that this one and every other article that ever discusses USPS financials don’t immediately acknowledge this fact.

“Congress has to do it” is the Right’s favorite trick now. Vaccine mandates? Can’t be OSHA. Has to be Congress. Less awful postal vehicles? USPS can’t do that, it’s on Congress. Protecting minority voting rights? Courts are powerless. Go ask Congress.

It’s a bit more complicated than that. The Post Office runs at a profit. The on paper losses have to do with some weird ass funding requirements where they need to pre-fund the pensions of employees they haven’t even hired yet for 75 years in the future.

Oh, wow, only $78 million for a fighter jet no one wants which barely works? What a deal!

It’s also worth noting that some of the USPS’ financial woes were inflicted by Republicans in Congress with the PAEA in 2006, which requires the USPS to prefund medical benefits 75 years into the future; something other companies are NOT required to do:

Especially compared to net losses of the navy!

It’s almost like reaping record profits isn’t the sole actual purpose of the Post Office or something.

I thought one of the first things they were going to do was get rid of this industry shill.

I got it today after finally managing to wrap my noggin around the fact that I liek the franchise and it’s stupid to expect TOTES NEW stuff every game. I don’t expect Halloween or Nightmare on Elm St. or Friday to change the formula, just shift it enough to be engaging. That’s where I’m at with Far Cry/AC/honestly…

Wireless charging is not even in the same galaxy in terms of power transfer when compared to what USC-C can deliver. 

I don't see a preserved nose, so I'd guess no?

Yeah, upgrading a pre-built HP/Dell can be a very different experience. They’re usually built with more proprietary hardware meant to support only the few varieties they can be optioned with and if what you’re adding wasn’t an original option then it may not have the required PSU, cables, clearance, etc to accommodate…

I have been building my own PCs since the days of jagged metal cases, manually setting drive jumpers, and “holy shit who needs a fan on their CPU”.

“I think more people would build PC’s if there were known builds that had everything you need to put it together, like in a kit.”
