It’s not “losing money” any more than air traffic controllers or public highways or street lights or fire departments are “losing money.” It is a government service. It’s not SUPPOSED to make money. It’s supposed to reliably deliver to anywhere in the US, even the unprofitable places.
The USPS faces a tight squeeze. With fewer people using the mail, it’s lost more and more money: $9 billion in the 12 months ending in September alone.

NYT columnist David Brooks wrote an op-ed a few weeks ago titled, "The Epstein Story? Count Me Out,” lamenting people are too focused on the Epstein scandal + saying "the QAnon mentality has taken over."
Today he appeared in 4 photos from the Epstein dump. Welp! www.huffpost.com/entry/david-...

At age 83, Sylvia Snowden still paints every day. She uses acrylic paint and oil pastels on masonite to create thrilling, sculptural impastos, which she has fittingly identified as “structural abstract expressionism.”

I kept forgetting to do this so I actually changed the word Black in my autocorrect dictionary to automatically capitalize the work Black and yeah it sometimes means I have to go and uncapitalize it but it’s so worth the occasional extra work and it guarantees I’ll never forget to do it.
Now that this administration has directly taken aim at it, I am no longer tolerating white people who want to talk about politics with me who do not capitalize the B in Black. It's a tell. And it's automatically disqualifying of anyone who wants my time or attention.
