Re:Trump orders Postal Service review after blasting Amazon deal

I’m a Fedex Express courier in a rust belt city. Fedex pays well enough that, even when I started part-time, I was able to afford a mortgage payment on a three-bedroom in a quiet neighborhood.
That’s a big deal for low-income folk who usually have limited options.

Spam calls have become so pervasive on my end (despite having changed my number three times) that I average about eight a day. My only real solution has been to just outright disallow call notifications and to periodically check my voicemail for the occasional legitimate message.

My guess would be for some imaginative, idyllic Eden where all animals are herbivores and all remaining humans sit around solar ovens getting high off their own hubris.

“Just less delusional...than most people.”
I can’t handle this level of edginess.

That our intelligence communities are brazen enough to release reports without evidence, expecting us to believe them with appeal to their authority alone, should cause anyone who considers themselves a liberal, classical or otherwise, to take pause, regardless of who you voted for this election.
This undermines our democratic institutions far more than any possible Russian attempts to manipulate events to get Trump elected.

Until proper mobile sync comes about for passwords and bookmarks I'm going to have to stick to Safari, unfortunately.

As a lacto-vegetarian I'm always confused by how personally offended some people can become when I simply pass over the meat at the dinner table. Even today I heard the "boy, where do you get your protein you're going to starve to death" schtick while my styrofoam plate was cracking under the weight of vegan baked beans, steamed broccoli, and mashed potatoes with way more butter than necessary.
Eh, it's cultural.

Hey, the word holiday still means "holy day." Always useful to bring up whenever someone is in a tiff over "Merry/Happy Christmas!" versus "Happy Holidays!".
