Postal employee GETS IT.
One of the post office employees in the USPS reddit section writes: = = = = = We no longer have overnight shipping? The best we have is 2 day “express”, which is the same price as overnight shipping was. At my facility now we also hold outgoing mail until the next day. I’m so…

Should be charging for value!
Lately I’ve been browsing the reddit section for Post Office employees. Mostly inscrutable tech talk about PTMA and Form 3517B and Amended RMD2. Some interesting stories about good or bad customers, some encouraging advice from oldtimers to newbies, and occasional inputs from non-employees. One of the latter is a smart idea, and it’s the sort…

Carney is FDR.
I started the previous item intending to introduce this topic but then skidded off into my usual Ford vs Wall Street rant. The rant is relevant to current news, so I’ll leave it there and try again. Capital is MONEY or PROPERTY that serves to start or expand a business. Property includes land, buildings, tools,…

Opposite options
Carney starts this speech with all options are on the table. He’s using the phrase oppositely from US leaders. When we say all options, we’re preparing to attack an innocent country that tried to be friendly. Trump is continuing the classic US mode with his attack on Canada. Canada hasn’t attacked us since 1812, and…

Pick a side.
Canada and EU are both sticking firmly to the irrational hatred of Russia. They won’t be able to achieve full independence from the US monster as long as they maintain the CORE INSANE BELIEF of US imperialism. Europe, of course, has been hating Russia and trying to invade it for hundreds of years. Napoleon, Kaiser…

If Canada wants…
If Canada wants a REALLY BIG self-sufficiency project, they could build a pipeline to Europe. As I’ve noted before, there isn’t a lot of open ocean between Canada and Ireland. Ellesmere to Greenland to Iceland to Ireland would include frequent landfalls. The technology was already developed by Russia’s Nordstream, about the same length as the…

Wish I’d said it…
Saw a splendidly succinct proverb in an online meme: The opposite of depression is expression. I normally say it two ways, both less succinct. MAKE. WALK. Men need to make things. If they can’t make things they will break things. Graybill said it in ornate 1880 style: The people of Free-Trade countries are therefore driven…

Canada keeps doing the right thing
New PM Mark Carney is enacting some changes immediately to aid Canada’s industry and consumers. He’s repealing the destructive Carbon Tax. Carney is a pure bankster and WEFoid, and he strongly supported the Carbon nonsense before, but now he’s getting rid of it. Commentators point out that Carney won’t necessarily be in office for long;…

The answer is work
This 1935 Ford promotional film starts with a long florid speech by a pompous grandiose announcer, introducing an important address by Henry Ford himself! Mr Ford will announce the company’s way of countering the Depression. After the long highly “grammatical” intro, we hear a long florid verbose oration by Henry himself: The answer is work.…

Elon vs FDR
Elon is cutting vast amounts of federal bureaucracy, or at least attempting to do it. He has no official role, so courts would be fully justified in rejecting all of his cuts. SYLLOGISM. FIRST PREMISE: We know that Elon will never cut war or tyranny, the only federal FUNCTIONS that need to be eliminated. He…

Could learn, won’t.
Polls show that Trudeau’s party is overtaking Poilievre’s conservatives. There’s a wildly obvious lesson here. If you want customers, offer a GOOD PRODUCT that can SOLVE THEIR PROBLEMS. If you want votes, offer a GOOD PRODUCT that can SOLVE THEIR PROBLEMS. Before this year, Trudeau was a poisonous product and his party had lost all…

Trying to figure this out
The good bureaucrats in the Biden admin who worked to restore the New Deal restrictions on Men Of Monopoly are now seeing their work smashed and deleted. This didn’t have to happen. It didn’t happen the first time, so the alternative is POSSIBLE. The original New Deal was NOT smashed by the next few presidents.…

More dust to wait for
Via DailyMail, with the usual caution about DailyMail’s usual wild exaggerations. Trump, working with ENVIRONMENTAL ACTIVIST RFK, has ordered several agencies to stop their Twitter and other public output for a while. We don’t know yet what this means. He undoubtedly remembers how the agencies spent most of their PR time bashing Trump. I noticed…

What did they gain?
Still thinking in terms of Salesmanship and Sampling the Product and Test Drives. Since 2008 the Dems have been concentrating SOLELY on cultivating billionaires. They had a great product in Obama, but he ruined his own chances by approving TARP to enrich the billionaires. Hillary is a shitty product. Everyone knew it. Biden is even…

Same reason as before
Continued thought about Tiktok, Rednote, etc. As I noted yesterday, the net provides REAL opportunities for people in different countries to get to know each other. This has been happening for years, especially on video-oriented media like Youtube. It shouldn’t be a surprise that American and Chinese youngsters are meeting and talking and learning about…
