It literally says "block new funding" in the very first sentence.

But we’ve thrown money at everything else er the sun, but not the USPS which a lot of people rely on. And had to cut service a few weeks ago.

Does it strike anyone else as funny that the federal budget has at least doubled in living memory, but the post office doesn't have enough money to operate? They should raise taxes higher. The problem with government is clearly not enough money from the working class.

The post office does not take money from the government.

I mean, his appointee did it, so by extension, yes.

That's hilarious. I've been seeing a lot of memes and gifs like that for both sides.

It looks like you can enter a donation of $0.01 to Trump. Considering it. I know they pay $0.30 in CC fees.
Bah, the minimum you can donate is $1.00. The other day I was able to enter $0.01, today I could not.

Biden says no new taxes for people under $400k of income.
In the first joint interview with Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden and his running mate Sen. Kamala Harris, the former vice president told ABC “World News Tonight” anchor David Muir that everybody should pay “their fair share."

“I will raise taxes for anybody making over $400,000,” Biden told Muir, adding, “no new taxes” would be raised for anyone making under $400,000.
Good.

I was talking to a friend of mine, who is in the 1% of income, and said "People like us should be paying more, we have to go get through all this spending."

Me: I think you mean, people like you, not "us"

Well, if the Dems run all 3 pieces, then they'll make that happen. I have to assume Medicare for all would violate that, though. Cuz that's a shit-ton of funding.

I have to wonder if they stopped saying "fair share" if it would be easier for people to hear. I never liked that term. United Way used to have a donation level called "fair share". Fair share of what? My money? Fuck you. It should be something that congratulates the person giving, not acting entitled to it.
