Japan privatized the post office because it wasn’t profitable. People were happy at first, but recently we found out there were several serious violations of vehicle safety regulations. So now they are delivering without a kind of mid-sized trucks. This is what happens when profit comes first.
The Post Office is a service the government supplies to its citizens. Profit should not be the metric that is used to evaluate it. We do not ask police forces to turn a profit, even though there exist private security firms.
The USPS posting a NINE BILLION DOLLAR LOSS!!! sounds terrible. Certainly worse than if you said "USPS costs thirty dollars per person per year" even though that means the same thing and more accurately describes a government service

A rehash of Nazi and post-Reconstruction era rhetoric about the purity of the race
All this hate for migrants when nothing transforms a culture more than capital. No amount of immigrants will ever change America, the capitol of capital, more than America transforms immigrants into American businesspeople, citizens of money.

Also, the older I get, the more I realize it's *SO* important as adults to have space just to play.
This is how children learn, and how adult animals stay healthy. Humans seem to reject it
Play is how we stay curious, practice resilience, and reject performance, perfection, and expectation.

Having to focus on how movement looks, sounds, and feels is why enjoy martial arts. I could exercise on a treadmill, but I would 100% stay stuck in the anxiety in my head. With MA, I have to climb out of my head and focus on my body.
That's mindfulness.
Plus, it's practice punching Nazis.

This morning’s swordplay.
The joy of learning something new (and on your own) is permission to just focus on how something sounds and feels.
I’m a sensory person. I find the sound of wind, metal quite satisfying, and meditative in the morning. #jian #straightsword

We’re $1861 (plus fees) away from meeting that goal.

Our neighbors are hungry. We saw that enhanced child tax credits could reduce food insecurity, & now we know that food insecurity rose when it was allowed to lapse. And SNAP has always been "supplemental"- that's the S in SNAP.
The status quo was already one where hunger was a persistent reality.

I still think that the pain of "gov't shutdowns" should be shared by those responsible for negotiating.
I also think that true democracies would not allow core state functions to grind to a halt over budget reconciliations because core functions should be funded from a separate pot.
