Had a package incoming that needed a signature.

POS of USPS driver sticks a note saying nobody was home in the mailbox. No knock at the door. Just walk out to see the car speeding off.

Raised hell in the post office and nobody gave a shite.


Anyone who wants wide scale government run healthcare can DIAF. Government workers are lazy POS

The govt is inherently bloated and wasteful.

That’s what happens when you print your own money and don’t have to worry about profit or staying in business.

Least common denominator plus the need for a million supervisors and bloat for no reason. It’s structured to be about as poorly run as possible.

The USPS is surprisingly efficient, given their fluctuating and heavy work load. Also Medicare works well from what I hear. But yes, there is a ton of government waste. But the government does some things effectively.

Government employees is the reason. They don't hire the brightest folks. Remember Geico insurance starts off with Government Employee

Because if the government fixed problems, they would be out of job fairly quickly.

Hence, they need to suck.

Plenty of businesses suck also. Businesses that suck can go out of business, government can’t. So instead of reinventing a business that failed they just keep evolving and throwing money at it.

Have you ever gone into a fast food place and asked yourself how the F they can be so bad compared to Chic FIL A?

No incentives of consequence and precious few consequences for being a knucklehead

Was expecting two packages Monday from usps. My wife was home so I told her to keep a look out. Same thing happened. Wife called to find out why they weren’t delivered and you want to know what the excuse was?

She didn’t have room for them in the car! What the frick is that shite?

Ugh, I hate when they do that no knocking crap. I have wine coming today via UPS and I went ahead and routed it for pickup to the UPS store down the street because I wasn’t sitting at the window all night to catch a no-knocker delivery person.

20-25% of Medicare expenses are fraudulent.
