This should be ALL anybody is talking about today

104. All of a piece

Does anyone wonder why my union(American Postal Workers Union) supports Sanders and not the Third Way triumphalists?

Obama tries to appoint a payday loan shark to the Postal Board of Governors(among other blatantly objectionable candidates) and no this was not a bluff or chess move. Payday loan sharks I believe are donors to the Hillary campaign and now this hit from the Obama appointed, Hillary anointing DNC Chair.

The Union among others with the public interest(the banking disenfranchised) and especially the interest of the health of the USPS wanted to RETURN to the service of postal banking services- which the big private banks hate and wouldn't do anymore if they had a choice.

Crickets from the DINO's who presume to run the party. Leadership from Sanders, on this as on so many issues.

Furthermore how much has the establishment fought to remove the Congressional theft of funds from the postal budget that make it look so bad and destroy the stamp buyers power to finance- solely- the widest, best and cheapest hand delivery service on the globe?

This is not just to please payday loan sharks. It is another transparent attack on the Postal Service's growth so that this traditional sacrificial lamb for the corrupt can be carved up in pieces- destroying the network, degrading service, raising prices and stockmarketing an unbroken infrastructure to death at the hands of the usual suspects, people divorced from their own humanity by filthy greed.

When the union complained that 1(union busting lawyer) plus 1(Postal management hiring him)= collusion to privatize the service and destroy good paying union jobs, they said there was not any real "evidence". So I suppose you can argue there is not enough proof of a grand conspiracy among corporate Dems, corporate Republicans, think tanks, lobbyists and donors to wound then slaughter your postal service.

Does it matter? Behold how these sweethearts work together, the silence between the crocodile tears and solemn concern for a service failing only because of their malicious appointees and illegal plundering and crummy business philosophies. It is all of the same cloth- the shroud over a healthy public commons to be buried alive and mourned with a secret smile as unnecessary, crippling misery spreads over the land. As fake money numbers grow in dark places.

Incrementalism in its best sense was the grudging, tepid giving of something to the public in bits and pieces to keep up the Great infrastructure, to win votes. Not anymore. Incrementalism now is in full reverse to enrich the most undeserving few with a greater enthusiasm inspired by the money gods from Hell. Screw the voters. Screw the world. Fantasy wealth rules!

And since I have been ahead of union leadership on stating suspicions(and the obvious) keeping the egregious over funding of the health benefits(money likely missing in Iraq) and forestalling restoration of full services means they have intended to cripple our union bargaining power in the binding arbitration phase in the national contract now underway. Likewise the lowering of stamp prices in a timely fashion to make the balance sheets look bad for union proposals. Oh yes and the lawsuit by the bulk mailers some of whom are very in bed with these strangely interwoven coincidences that pushed for this rate decrease. Thank you Congress, maybe you have the stomach of brass this time to interfere in our final contract anyway, just as you have in the postal budget against your own legislative rules?

And the perps can still get free mailings at the expense of the average John Q. Public stamp buyer- the sole funder of a once and future Wall Street target. Suckers.

Boycott Staples. Vote for Sanders.
