    and today with online shopping, their jobs are even harder, they have to carry packages to the door of varying weights, I have no issues with them being paid the wage they are, I do not think it's too much

    Trump gets payed many times more of tax payer money just for staying at mar-a-lago playing golf a year

    So to avoid what FDR was talking about, they just donate gobs of money to the politicians who will eventually sign their contracts.

    with a lot of luck, most will never become part of the 1% no matter how they try unless they were born on 3rd base like Trump

    I may be wrong but I believe govt workers aren't allowed to strike. But they do donate gobs of money and I believe it took a court case to allow union members opt out of their dues being used for political reasons, I'll have to check on that.

    Why blame the union?? They didn't hire these people, management did, just that the union is stuck representing because the law says they have to. If anything fire the manager who hired the bad employee.

    Meh. It happens. Just archive this the next time a collector takes you to court, and say 'i never got my mail, prolly cuz this guy' and lets try to not pretend we can actually fix every single extremely rare problem. **** happens, people suck, life goes on.

    You were the one complaining that "and today with online shopping, their jobs are even harder, they have to carry packages to the door of varying weights", really? That's ALL UPS does. Just think of the reduced carbon emissions if UPS was delivering their packages and the mail too.

    There will always be a top 1% regardless of how many people move up from lower numbers into the higher numbers. As people move up the socioeconomic ladder the numbers will always change. It's simple statistics.

    That's how to get to a mythical 'middle class'. There's practically no opportunity for anyone to join the rarified atmosphere of the actual movers and shakers unless they have the right connections and a handy billion in the bank, not assets. If they turn out to be the wrong sort of billionaire they get eaten for breakfast and no-one burps.

    How about management doing their jobs properly by hiring good workers instead?

    USPS and FedEx can fire their bad apples without spending a year of management salary to do that.

    The poor USPS manager has to deal with a system set up against proper management exercise of authority.

    Some of the laziest people on the planet are part of the 1% who control 46%. The day those 1% produce 46% of the world's wealth, then they can
    said that they earned it. Until then, they and their supporters need to ****. BTW......I have 3 college degrees.

    Liberal arts degrees are generally not worth the paper they are printed on.

    Typical of a plutocratic socialist. According to these elitists, government created entities known as corporations are people, and actual living
    person is the property of the corporation.
