I don't want to start a thing so I'll just say that there will never be a good argument for privatizing USPS. That would be like privatizing libraries. The aim of services isn't to be run for profit, they are for serving the greater good, which USPS has been extremely successful at.

It's not a bad idea to go to the local Walmart or big box retailer and buy lots of consumables now. From toothpaste to soap, anything you can find storage space for, buy before they have to replenish inventory.
Even if it's made in the USA , they will jack up the price and blame it on tariffs.

Thought Wake Forest would take more of a hit for its blowout loss to Louisville, but guessing because it was a road Quad 1 loss it didn't drop it in the NET.
Demon Deacons currently still a Quad 1 opponent for #Pitt this weekend. That could change if the Panthers win, but still a good opportunity.

One thing before tomorrow:
Use your local libraries.
Get your card.
Borrow books, manga, films, audios, ebooks.
Recommend titles for purchase (usually online).
Attend promoted activities.
Fill out those "How are we doing?" questionnaires.
Tell your kids that libraries are good.
They are.

BREAKING — Joe Biden has pulled off the impossible: positive job growth EVERY SINGLE MONTH of his presidency.
The last negative month was the last full month of Trump’s first term, December 2020.

You’ve definitely heard of the Costco DEI story by now, but it’s even more beautiful when you know the full background.
The shareholders put together a list of proposals to run by the board. Proposal 4 reads: “SHAREHOLDER PROPOSAL REQUESTING REPORT ON THE RISKS OF MAINTAINING DEI EFFORTS”
