The USPS considers offering banking services

[sbr]

I like that idea.

Killing Seedy or a month long blow-and-hookers bender?

The same thing could be said about our court system and the Judiciary Acts.  But nobody's going to touch them, either.

Correct.  The only court required by the Constitution is the Supreme Court.  All lower courts are created based on Congressional will and authority.  The Judiciary Acts are not going to be repealed, but they *could be*.  Nothing in the Constitution stops Congress from doing so.

So fuck all you Post Office haters.  Good luck trying to remove the Postal Clause.

Nobody is talking about removing the Postal Clause.  We are talking about Congress using their Postal Clause powers to remove the USPS.

The very last bail company I worked for, my boss had developed a nasty coke + $500/hr GFE escort habit, and the ensuing nasty divorce;  I'd have to wait as long as Tuesday to deposit Friday's paycheck sometimes, he was even bouncing the premium checks to the bond insurance company.

When he suddenly wanted to get me personally insured under a $250,000 essential personnel small business policy, that's when I knew I was going to be murdered in the office one evening in the very near future, and felt it was prudent to tender my resignation.

Yep.  Ironically, the company I was just talking about that tracked financial misbehavior folded when the CEO managed to go on a month-long hookers and blow binge that cost $83 mil of our VC.

That's just the market being free.

In my 28 years of various employment I have never had a payroll check bounce, or not been paid exactly on payday.

That's not so bad.  Tell me more.

Whoa.  What was it like, living in a film noir?

[MadImmortalMan]

For five hundred clams an hour, I'd want video for later reference.

[Ideologue]

I'm not saying it's a monthly expense.  More like a birthday present for myself.

  I love it, Seedy.  We really do need the autobiographical short fiction collection sometime soon.

Why must you mock him like that?

There would be a lot less downside exposure for a national check cashing facility.

could they really make money offering only these basic services?  If they aren't as competitive as private banks, why bother?  If they generate losses, you'll want it shut down (I would too). 

If they make money, then, they'd have found a revolutionary new way for a government office to make money in the absence of a monopoly.  I can't see that happening, can you?

I am not rich enough for that to happen yet.  I boxed up all my gifts and took them to UPS in 2012 for Christmas and it cost me over $100.00 motherfucking dollars.  I did the same damn thing last year and took them to the Post Office and it cost me $14.00.    Both took roughly the same amount to time to get there.  SOmebody want to explain that crap to me?  I am never using UPS or Fedex again that is some borderline extortionate bullshit.

UPS at least gives good service for the money. FedEx is an abomination.

UPS keeps making me go to their fucking hub.  It's like a 40 minute round trip.

Fuck the post office. Fuckers won't stop talking to the old people in front of me.

No shit. must be in the manual.

It doesn't fit in the cover letters.
