1. This is going to so work against him and the GOP.

[raging moderate]

2. Hmm. Could we all send stamps to this Post Office?

If we put them in an envelope, what address should we write on the front of the envelope?

8. Just send to Postmaster

and the name of the post office.

Good idea.

3. This doesn't pass my smell test?

Seems Putiny.

4. Stamps? No stamps?

No money orders? This is insane. Not terribly subtle. There can be no legitimate explanation for that.

5. Money orders... useful service for the disadvantaged and unbanked. millionaires don't care

[Marcuse]

9. Corporations care a lot about their accounts receivable. This will backfire.

10. Right by Johns Hopkins University

something doesn't seem right about this. Are other post offices reporting the same?

I just bought a bunch of forever stamps online and they shipped by priority mail for free.

14. Lots of folks online are saying "buy stamps to help fund the post office"

Could they have sold out?

15. The USPS retirement fund is now worth more than $120 billion.

That’s a juicy plum for some private equity group to come in and strip the assets, leaving an underfunded postal service and many fewer employees. Republicans set this up to deliberately cripple the USPS. Trump is just finishing the job for them.

“In 2006, Congress passed a law that imposed extraordinary costs on the U.S. Postal Service. The Postal Accountability and Enhancement Act (PAEA) required the USPS to create a $72 billion fund to pay for the cost of its post-retirement health care costs, 75 years into the future. This burden applies to no other federal agency or private corporation.”

Edited to add this: Every Republican Senator who is running for reelection and voted for this law needs to be questioned why they voted to help destroy the USPS.
