The worries keep mounting! Faith is a little hard to muster up. I hope Americans never become apathetic about politics again. I thought teaching was such a good career path, but politics has even soured that for me! A friend said her 18 year old’s friends are ready to keep up the fight, and all are voting democrat. I sure hope so! Like the girl in Georgia that posted the school picture. She said it was necessary trouble! Go Hannah Waters! 💙

People, especially Republican politicians, have always misrepresented the Post Office as being mismanaged.

In the 1990s when Hillary Clinton made her healthcare proposal, the dispicable Phil Gramm, senator from Texas, thought he was being witty when he said (something like this), "I won't let the greatest healthcare system in the world turn into the U.S. Post Office."

I told everyone I could tell at the time, "PLEASE make our healthcare system like the Post Office. It's service is universal, affordable and they still make house calls."

I've written this here before, but the small nonprofit publisher I work for ships books all over the country and even around the world via the Post Office. The service has always been excellent. We also use UPS, but we find the Post Office is better and faster and cheaper for smaller packages. If you get the address wrong on a UPS package, they don't even try to deliver it, but ship it back to you and charge you for the return. The Post Office often is able to deliver a package with an incorrect address, and if they return it to you they don't charge you.

Trump is a disgrace!
