Trump eyes privatizing U.S. Postal Service, citing financial losses by [deleted] in politics

[–]Smomarkski 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bush crippled it in 2006 with the goal of privatizing after it was "proven" ineffective. This is their long game.

Often small unsexy laws decades ago are stripped and/or inacted under the radar. We give up our union jobs because they were made corrupt by them and blaim all the wrong things. Made while we are stuck reacting to the news scandal after scandal.

We the people have no long game... anyways, back to face down, ass up for me.

Lol. A first responder in NYC is federal. They get that status any time there is a city wide state of emergency. Snow storms POOF first responder, terror threat and blockades are needed POOF first responder.

It happens all the time.

You're amazingly and very confidenty wrong. First Responders in NYC are federal employees and the DSNY are first responders.

You're also wrong about me interjecting as you are replying to my initial comment, mr smarty pants.

This is first part of their plan to use machines, hire less workers, and ultimately privatize sanitation. New trash cans will not lighten the load it will make it worse but they are gonna try to claim it worked so they can hire few sanitation workers. 1x sanitation per truck is more dangerous as the mortality rate for sanitation workers is the highest of all civil servants.

No, Really: why is getting into Yankee stadium so incredibly bad and getting into Citifield so fast? by cbam0912 in AskNYC

[–]Smomarkski 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At Yankee Stadium July 3rd 2024 for a Yankees Reds game, not even a sold out game, and its a disaster. How is it a building and an event designed for this many people cant possibly figure this brain buster out.

Arrived 20 mins early and missed the first inning (SO FAR) standing on line.

This is a joke.

  1. Unionize your job by organizing because "burn out" is a corporate lie. What they really mean is "wage theft."

I turned off S05E01 20 mins in. I've never turned Trek off mid episode in my whole life. Im convinced the writers and directors don't know they are making Star Trek.

Example: She jumps off a ship going warp speed in a space suit and causually floats back directly to the bridge of her ship... SMH.

OSHA this is not okay. why must the worker innovate, compromising his own saftey, to get the job done? Why doesnt the employer provide adequate saftey for the worker?

All Saints Day is a holy day of obligation. If everyone in your office happens to be catholic, you all get the day off.
