New School Chief Had Options
It appears that our new public schools chief had another option in the wings, and we got him. “Mr. Milligan, here are your choices. Tacoma, Washington – A City of 180,000 in the midst of a social, cultural, and business renaissance. Or… Robeson County, North Carolina…” I’m not going to knock Lumberton or any other Robeson County towns. They’re probably nice places. So I’ll step back a bit. California to Washington or California to North Carolina? Enough said I think.

If every town affected by the previously planned closures is allowed to keep the facilities open, then how will the postal service achieve any meaningful savings? I don’t get it.

The entire Postal Service financial situation is completely contrived by lobbied-legislation from UPS, FedEx, etc…
If the Postal Service was able to manage itself (as it used to, prior to the impossible law of them having to pre-fund retirement pay unlike any other agency or business anywhere ever) it would be doing fine. The other commercial delivery companies simply want it out-of-the-way… except the irony is that many of the items sent via UPS and FedEx actually pass through the postal service anyway…
If the Postal Service is eliminated, it’s not just those jobs which will be gone, it will also eliminate all the jobs surrounding every small letter and other non-essential delivery since the remaining commercial carriers will raise the costs to a level out-of-reach for the average person. Hallmark Cards might as well start recycling their stock right now.

Instead of writing letter, can’t I just email? Oh, wait…
