Postal Center Closes

Government fails when it is set up to fail and run by people who (quite realistically, many times) expect it to fail. Why on Earth would anyone think it's a good idea to put people who hate the idea of government in charge of government? That seems to me to make as much sense as putting an anti-capitalist hippie in charge of GE.

Like what you did there, tied the Tea Party and OWS into your statement.

This is an in-depth look at the USPS that makes a number of interesting points.

Have you shipped anything lately?   I had a few airplane gaskets shipped from Newton, KS in what amounted to a CD mailer.  It was about $12 by UPS.  I've asked them to use Priority Mail since then for about 1/2 the shipping cost.

Most all the shipping I do for my side business is USPS.  Their international flat rate stuff just took a decent increase.  Any of the larger stuff I ship out must go UPS.
