Something terrible is eventually going to come of all this... 😟

@meratrix so Sargon, Dankula, Tommy and Milo are the big ask. Allowing Farage to focus purely on brexit with absolutely no other platform underneath him as a concession? The more people the former wake up to the dangers of the corporate media, the better farage does.

Idk, I don’t think the polling is accurate though so take it with a grain of salt. Remember Trump and Brexit? Those were polling low too so it’s not a sign of damnation until the votes are cast

Everything but liberate Syria from ISIS I guess

it's kind of infuriating that, in this day and age our technology is so good, and the mass-transit and production of goods makes things so cheap, but we can't afford to keep simple services such as post offices running

2019-05-20 08:40:15 UTC  

what's gone wrong?

2019-05-20 08:40:35 UTC  

where's all the money going from all the hard working people who work til they die and don't even bother having kids, and the benefits from this technology?

2019-05-20 08:40:46 UTC  

Administration issues

2019-05-20 08:41:19 UTC  

Mostly over payment, over benefits of employees. Least in the US. The Postal Worker Union is a burden

2019-05-20 08:41:47 UTC  

look at how it was in the 60's for the US

those values sound like living in luxury

APWU won it's first collective bargining in 1970

2019-05-20 08:44:18 UTC  

THe APWU officially formed (From a massive merger) in 1961

And it has been downhill since

2019-05-20 08:44:33 UTC  

Fuckers can't even put mail in the right boxes anymore

2019-05-20 09:02:50 UTC  

Ooooooo . . . Google have blacklisted Huawei devices, saying they're doing in in accordance with instruction from the US Government.

2019-05-20 09:05:17 UTC  

Good

2019-05-20 09:09:19 UTC  

Well if the US places an embargo or a sanction, any business/country that does business with them, is also subject to it. So probably a smart move on Google's part.

$12,000 for a decently built house...

I'll take 10

@aradesh

Your average income is wrong:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Average_Indexed_Monthly_Earnings

And we have to get back to available goods. You probably don't have AC. You certainly don't have internet. You might have TV but it's black and white and if you are lucky there are three channels. If you chose to live like that today you could easily afford it.

2019-05-20 10:43:44 UTC  

Also we don't really need USPS as we have FedEx, UPS, and DHL.....

2019-05-20 11:08:47 UTC  

tbh paper mail should be banned

2019-05-20 11:18:03 UTC  

The exclusive right to deliver paper mail may be the only reason USPS exists. Yes they do some Amazon deliveries. But could they maintain their network without the exclusive right to deliver all junk mail, utility bills, and campaign adds?

2019-05-20 11:52:57 UTC  

in most nations the biggest expense to the postal system, is the Golden luxury pension deals to people that have stoped working ages ago. it costly to pay old people that no longer working a full salary and benefits

2019-05-20 12:00:18 UTC  

If sender and recipient both have internet access sending paper mail is just huge waste of ressources

2019-05-20 12:01:02 UTC  

Yeah try writing a romantic letter over gmail

2019-05-20 12:01:03 UTC  

that is why they are no longer making money,

2019-05-20 12:01:06 UTC  

It'll work out great

2019-05-20 12:01:23 UTC  

how many romantic letters you think make up the total of letters send?

2019-05-20 12:01:45 UTC  

That doesn't mean we should just stop having a mail service

2019-05-20 12:01:55 UTC  

A love txt.

2019-05-20 12:02:02 UTC  

Lol
