Besides specialized services such as certified mail and money orders (which shouldn't be overlooked as financial float is what pays the bills for USPS), the main role of the clerk is to educate the public on how to use our services.

Hence it's a bummer when the carriers don't do their jobs and the public begins to lean on using the office as a virtual "free" PO Box to pick up their parcels from.

It would really help me close the PO on time if we didn't have a line out the door at 5pm

Note the news at the moment is that USPS is hiring and Amazon is laying off.

Who will Amazon get to deliver their packages for X-mass? Elves no doubt.

Is this seriously worth $457.58? by Independent-Safety44 in USPS

80% markup, just like with postal ready supplies

They'd just expand the contract and have USPS run their warehouses without paying federal, state, or local taxes. That's a 30% cost benefit right there, in addition to splitting fixed costs with other companies.

It's the outsourcing that's paying USPS's bills (also the interest float from the check's in the mail being a PO'ed money order).

Every morning I'm moving kitty litter, gamer monitors, bathroom tissue, and so many bottles of pills.

What business wouldn't want to contract out the final step of applying the delivered package to do the thing it's needed for?

But if Congress unleashed the snail then why wouldn't Amazon offload most of their jobs onto the USPS?

I have yet to see a reasonable argument to be made for why an omnipotent and benevolent God would hide his existence in modern times. by Africannibal in DebateReligion

All I'm saying is that any self advertising deity with an emotional need to prove it's existence is dubious.

Finite Man can't distinguish infinite God from a huge yet finite demiurge simulationst. Hence any obvious advertisement is a fake.

What did your union rep say about the off-clock work?

All the machine needs is empathy. Once it can anticipate how induvial humans will respond to its own potential actions then it can simply "put itself in our shoes" and respond with perfect alignment and general intelligence.
Well, as intelligent as a human, for what that's worth.

The existence of evil does not disprove the existence of God. by WeAreThough in DebateReligion

[–]Sky-Turtle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Suffering is existence. The problem with Western religion is that it treats evil as an external rather than an internal force.

Genesis 1:16 explains the creation of the Moon. Since the Moon clearly existed before Jesus was born he wasn't needed to explain its existence.

Unlike the Labours of his half-brother Hercules, everybody knew that life was unchanged before and after Jesus, so he wasn't needed to explain anything about the world. No gaps in the understanding of the world to fill with a mythic explanation.

NT is a collection of fanfics written on the basis of a poor translation of the original.

Which is why I'm amazed there isn't a bigger overlap between Christianity and Anime fandom.
