My business depends on the US mail and I can count on one hand the number of mistakes they have made in over 30 years. What other agency or business can say that? Trump and Barr and just about everyone that Trump has appointed including his cabinet are hurting people and hurting our democracy.
Trump protects wealth and hurts everyone else. Another four years of this attack on the middle class and our country will be in real trouble. I have been voting for almost 50 years and this is by far the most important election in all those years. Biden/Harris need Republicans to come out of their conservative elite world and Democrats to come out of their liberal elite world and join together for a Better America before it is too late. I do see some movement from Republicans which is good but we need more. I believe there would be more if the liberal elite Democrats would stop bashing Trump supporters and personally attacking everyone who disagrees with them. Anyone who does not have respect for all people is an elitist. That includes anyone who you may disagree with on any subject. I respect people I know who are Trump supporters. They are not opening their eyes because of fear of being personally attacked directly or indirectly. Many only listen to what they want to hear because fear has closed their minds. Many of them do not speak in this forum because they would be attacked by liberal elites. Every conservative that runs for any office is personally attacked. I remember liberal elites calling George Bush Monkey man and now they call Donald Trump the Orange Clown. How are you not aware of your disrespectful rhetoric? And Conservative elites omg when will you ever accept that the world is changing and learn how to deal with it rather than let your fear control you. If we do not come together and be more respectful of each other we will get what we deserve...

Someone who is an expert on the complex operations behind mail distribution, routing and delivery I would guess.It was a serious question, and I had hoped for a serious answer.Is that a serious question?

White House insistence on $100 ‘Trump Cards’ being sent to seniors killed prescription drug deal: NYTMove on. Trump is bad for all groups except the most wealthy. It is a full time job to keep up with why and how he is bad for we the people. Do you have anything good to say about Biden? How about "America will be Better with Joe Biden" or how about "What America needs is MOJOE". It is not hard to be positive...

Keep trying to beat Republican actions with logic and you will keep losing.

Glad the top one percent are eating well. Republicans measure the economy by how the wealthy are faring. Let’s change it and measure it by how well the poorest are getting on. Wouldn’t that be the most accurate measure of their decades of tax cutting “trickle down” rising tide lifts all yachts bullsht?

What is the backbone of our economy? Measure the growth of the Middle Class and you will find our problem. Since 1971 it has been shrinking by the tune of over 10% and the gap between the middle class and wealth is growing. Who is responsible? I am sorry to say that the republican party shares most of this responsibility. They hide their responsibility with minimum wage job creation which hides the reality of who these poor paying jobs really helps. Wealth. Wealth (including Trump) justifies everything with many false narratives like jobs and stock market. I could go on but the bottom line is that the democratic party is now the party of the people both economically and socially and the republican party has turned it's back on the working class. A strong middle class means less poor people barely surviving week to week as many of us pay much higher than minimum wage to our workers. I am a republican on paper but I will vote democrat until the republicans buy back their soul...

The shrinking middle class is primarily attributable to the outsourcing of manufacturing jobs from the USA to other countries , especially China . Those were higher paying jobs that have been gutted, and you can thank NAFTA and the pre-Trump corporate taxes for much of those losses.

It’s not that the super wealthy are unhappy the lower classes have a piece of the pie it’s the lower classes have a piece of their pie.

Wealth will never be satisfied. The super wealth who are running these companies pay themselves unbelievable salaries, outsource labor to other countries, expense super jets and super yachts and then complain they can not compete because of taxes. If we the people (small businesses and individuals) held our representatives accountable there would be more incentives for small business because every penny made stays in the American economy and every penny spent stays in the American economy. Unfortunately the train has left the station now that we have allowed monopolization to grow companies too big to fail, reduce competition, outsource labor and avoid taxes thru tax shelters. Trust me, you and I are not being represented by our Republican politicians any more. We need for Biden to win this and wake up the Republican party. It will be a close election but it would reset the republican party if Biden won in a landslide.

Are some humans really worth billions and other humans nothing? NO The inequity of income distribution has never ended well.

I so wish that people will wake up before greed completely destroys Capitalism. When I took economics at FSU a long time ago I remember my professor warning about monopolization. He was concerned that monopolization would reduce competition, negatively effect supply and demand distribution and eventually lead to mega corporations that control too much of the pie. He was also concerned how policy makers would be affected by these mega corporations. Over 40 years later and every one of those concerns have come true. I know you believe that Trump is a good businessman and is good for our economy but his policies are really bad for our economy in the long term and even in the short term. All you have to do is follow those tax cuts and follow the deficit. You should also follow our social programs like social security and medicare that we the people have paid into (earned). Those programs should be expanded but instead his policies will weaken them severely. The stock market is a like a big Casino. Only a few will win and many will lose. Unfortunately many States and individuals have their retirements wrapped up in the stock market so it is a big problem when it drops. Civil unrest can cause it to drop. Trump's rhetoric creates civil unrest. A divided America with civil unrest is bad for America and really bad for our economy. A divided America starts at the top and trickles down. Biden is the leader we need right now. Four more years of Trump and the fighting between democrats and republicans will intensify, civil unrest intensifies, medicare and social security will be in big trouble, income inequality will grow, gender inequality will grow, racial inequality will intensify and on and on. Biden may or may not be a two term President but he is what America needs for the next four years! Almost four years ago Trump supporters told me how much better this country would be with Trump. Do you think we are a better Country? Biden will not tolerate violent protesting, will strengthen social security and medicare, strengthen our healthcare, will not take away our guns or religion or property rights and most of all will help heal the division in America. In four years under Biden, America will be Better than it is today. I believe we will all be more willing to share our good fortunes like our beaches, public lands that under Trump are turning private and even be more willing to accept higher taxes on the super wealth. Trust my economic professor at FSU nothing good comes out of income inequality, reduced competition, businesses that are too big to fail and a weaker middle class. Trust your instincts not the words coming out of anyone who uses divisive rhetoric.

I think you mean well, but everything you said has been known by progressives/liberals for 30 years. The re-distribution of wealth to the upper 1% has been a continuing REPUBLICAN program for as long as I can remember. The financial crash of 2007 was completely caused by predatory lending to the lower economic classes and undue tax burden on the middle class, because of the tax cuts for the rich. This has been a Republican scheme. If you remember, the VERY FIRST piece of legislation coming out of the Trump Administration was A TAX CUT FOR THE RICH. Our economy only works successfully when the middle class has enough money to purchase goods and services to keep the wheels moving. The rank and file Republicans in this country need to wake up to the fact that you are being duped by the 1% and you have been for decades.

I think you mean well also and these are the issues that we need to focus on if we want republicans to wake up. Trashing Trump and the republicans will not get us where we need to go. If it did then there would have been more movement in the polling over the last year. I understand the urge but we have to see a much bigger picture than "Trump is terrible and therefore Trump supporters are all terrible". This is important because many Trump supporters shut down when they feel insulted. Please do not write them off just yet! Eventually they will understand that the boat they swam out to is sinking leaving them unsafe and cold...and a better boat is on it's way. THE BIDEN will provide safety and equality and civility. The Biden will also provide fresh MOJOE which is a feeling of hope and peace and opportunity. We are about to vote in one of the most meaningful elections that our generation will ever face. It is time for republicans to sink or swim...
