USPS is not a business, and therefore not required to be profitable.

Furthermore, USPS’s financial problems that consistently make headlines were manufactured by a 2006 federal act that required them to prefund health and retirement benefits 75 years in advance. The policy was a republican gift to private shipping companies (UPS, FedEx, etc), it was repealed under Biden.

Although they are still stuck with the contract Trump 1 saddled them with for awful and expensive delivery vehicles.

To be fair, Gamepass had 34 million subscribers before the price hike, so as long as they drove away less than 11 million, Microsoft still comes out on top after their 50% hike while having to provide services to fewer accounts.

After completely destroying the IRGC and Navy within the first week of the special military operation, 3 months later we will have a concept of a plan for total victory in 2 weeks.

Is Platner a great candidate? No.

Is he better than Collins? Almost certainly.

A Heritage Foundation hit piece is a ringing endorsement as far as I’m concerned.

I especially enjoyed the part about how this adult presented a diary entry she wrote ‘from 2016’ as her evidence.

“Newly Released” aka: dump the bodies.

Because “Restoring Law and Order” is a dog whistle for systematically racist policing.

I can guarantee that a city like Baltimore will not see a dollar of this even though the City’s tactics have brought about a historic crime reduction without significantly increasing police spending (For reference, Baltimore has reduced it’s homicide rate by about 72% in just 4 years).

None of this is accurate:

Generally the wear on tires is proportional to the wear on roads, since both are effectively grinding against each other with grit as the grinding medium in between. It would be harder to find a more accurate way to measure an individual vehicle’s contribution to road wear, given that weight is such a large factor.

Surface wear on roads from tire contact is not a concern, the damage is done due to a combination of compression cycles (the 4th power law) and weather. The 4th power law being that road wear is equal to the 4th power of the axel load.

Your tire wear rate is based on so many unique factors, with vehicle weight being a relatively minor one. Force of accel/decell/turning, suspension tuning, tread, rubber compound, road material, etc.

Your tire rubber is not grinding away the road surface. It’s wild that I even have to say that.
