No, it would be regress, but I still enjoy your wit ;)
The Postal Service says it’s losing billions of dollars each year. To close the gap, it has proposed shuttering nearly 2,500 post offices nationwide, most of them in rural areas, along with possibly reducing deliveries to five days a week. But as with most information coming from Washington, DC, there’s more to this story.
The Postal Service actually is making a profit. Yes, that’s right—in operational terms, the Postal Service makes more money than it spends.
So why do we hear all those reports about the Postal Service losing tons of money?
Here’s what is really happening. Suppose you were required by law to deposit a huge portion of your earnings each year in a savings account to pay bills you won’t get until decades from now. Your neighbors aren’t required to do that, just you. Without that cash to use for everyday expenses, you would probably have trouble paying today’s bills. That’s essentially what’s happening to the Postal Service.
Royal Tru-Orange was one of 300 products of the Philippines that were barred by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration from entering the United States due to “failure to meet its requirements.”
A study commissioned by the OECD has concluded that the Internet kill switch favored by Senator Joe Lieberman could “cause more problems than it would prevent”. The study also found “a tendency to exaggerated language, an over-reliance on military concepts of war and defence and plenty of confused thinking”.
It’s nice that someone did the study, but I could have told you that for free.
Karl Rove’s help for Sweden as it assists the Obama administration’s prosecution against WikiLeaks could be the latest example of the adage, “Politics makes strange bedfellows.”
Rove has advised Swedish Prime Minister Fredrik Reinfeldt for the past two years after resigning as Bush White House political advisor in mid-2007. Rove’s resignation followed the scandalous Bush mid-term political purge of nine of the nation’s 93 powerful U.S. attorneys.
