They are all "shoot from the hip' types and just like to make lot a noise to get attention. There usually is no substance to anything they say. The proper term to describe them is "blowhards'.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11744526031469068987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-563539329592161652.post-37270957443680288682011-01-04T11:31:58.791-05:002011-01-04T11:31:58.791-05:00If one would look at the way the USPS is mandated ...If one would look at the way the USPS is mandated to purchase products, whether in small or large quantities, it is unfair for the USPS to pay retail prices and even more on items which can be bought at lower prices every day. UPS and FEDEX both most likely purchase products at their lowest prices available. The USPS can only go through particular venders which charge retail prices. I myself would not pay the prices the USPS has to pay for items. I work for the USPS and have seen this first hand every day. This is a major cost associated with the pilling debt of the USPS. Let the USPS purchase products the way private industry does and the USPS will come out of debt more quickly. We should not be penalized just because we are a government facility when the USPS is a seperated from the government and no tax dollars go toward the running or stability of the USPSAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-563539329592161652.post-11144713659649524732011-01-04T01:54:54.715-05:002011-01-04T01:54:54.715-05:00Business plans need to have realistic assessments ...Business plans need to have realistic assessments and with these many economic predictions, we can only hope for best.Create a digital signaturehttp://www.docusign.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-563539329592161652.post-16352889391040723012011-01-03T16:23:19.868-05:002011-01-03T16:23:19.868-05:00The privatisation of the usps will be the mail pro...The privatisation of the usps will be the mail processing centers and although the local post offices will be consolidated they along with the carriers will remain apart of the U.S gov.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-563539329592161652.post-2639968359925556542011-01-02T20:52:10.233-05:002011-01-02T20:52:10.233-05:00We could only wish to be members of the teamsters ...We could only wish to be members of the teamsters union.

It will not be UPS or Fedex but most likely Deutsche Post/DHL taking over the US Postal Service as they have done to many other government postal services. They have been in the mail and parcel business for many years AND they have their own planes and hubs already in the united states. What ever happened to those planes? John Kasich shot a campaign commercial in front of their hub almost a year after they closed and the planes were still there.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-563539329592161652.post-46739204717221721402011-01-02T10:07:08.680-05:002011-01-02T10:07:08.680-05:00FED EX an UPS don't want anything to do with t...FED EX an UPS don't want anything to do with the USPS.
