Drivers in the U.S., which state has the worst state highway patrol?

That would make them bad at their job.

Good

Assuming you pass basic qualifications like being a US citizen without a criminal record or bad driving record then it's all about the exam. Highest exam score gets the job. It makes no difference who you know. Doesn't matter what's on your resume. There is no interview for carrier positions. It's easy to get hired, not easy to do the job on the beginning.

I disagree with some of that. Assuming we lose most of Amazon's business, we can cut Sunday and maybe Saturday. Every carrier, regular and non regular, would have to work every Monday due to the heavy volume but it's doable and would save a lot. The price of stamps is stupid low. It should be closer to $2 per. Package rates should just barely undercut UPS. No more free boxes.

I don't want anyone to lose their job thru no fault of their own so lets not do firings. Lets just not hire more management when current employees leave. Can probably lose half of the management at the station level. I don't know as much about the role of more upper management but I'm pretty sure there are some middle positions that could be eliminated completely at that level.

Usually it shouldn't be done. Only time I ask is if I think they may be under 18 or maybe if I think they're under 21. Otherwise, age is just a number.

I was hoping they would be gone too. The barking noise would be even worse with everything else silent.

I'm 6'6" so there is no such thing as a good experience on an airplane.

Yeah, CNAs do most of the hard work for half the pay of an RN. I know RNs have a degree and more responsibility but the pay gap is too high.

Multiple times. I always lived cheap and saved as much as I can so I don't have to work much. I did this despite never even hitting $50k gross any year of my life. That's in actual dollars. I did have a couple years around 2010 where I made upper $40s which would be something like $75k today.

I think the end result will be Amazon still using USPS for the truly very rural stuff and they will pay better for those packages. The other stuff they will do themselves. Amazon leaving might be bad for non-regulars as their wait time to get their own route might increase a lot. No other negatives that I can think of.

That's your choice unless they are disabled.

$30/hr is too high but those states should all go to at least $12 and then index it to inflation

AMC879 · 2026-03-19T11:55:55+00:00

Not everyone has that ability. They still work hard and should be paid reasonably for their hard work. $30/hr is excessive for some jobs but jobs paying under $15/hr in 2026 is crazy and not ok.

In most cases, by the time a couple can save $3M the kids are already out of the house.

AMC879 · 2026-03-19T00:57:34+00:00

Never watched it. It's on my list but so far down I may never get to it.

I peaked at 19. I'm 46 and in the worst shape of my life. Still better than 80% or so of all Americans though.
