The USPS is the fastest, cheapest, and most accurate mail service on the planet last I heard, and is the biggest employer of veterans in the entire country.
On top of that, mail carriers: -have wages that top out at over $30 an hour (and their wages go up in predictable steps based on how long they’ve been with the USPS) -have excellent benefits, including a shit-ton of vacation time, plus a pension, and they can retire after thirty years
But they also have one of the oldest, biggest, strongest unions in the country. That must piss off Republicans so much.
Also, side note: they take zero taxpayer dollars. They’re entirely funded by postage.
(”But I heard they were doing terribly!” They’re not. Congress saddled them with pre-funding their retirement 75 years out to intentionally put them in the red and make them look bad. I’m not joking or exaggerating. There’s tons of info, but here’s the USPS’s own info: https://about.usps.com/who-we-are/financials/annual-reports/fy2010/ar2010_4_002.htm )
wait guys im reblogging thia again because i have a really cool fact about why that baby is in a sack!! part of the reason newborns dont sleep through the night is because in the womb whenever it made a movement, there was always something to stop it from moving too much, because it was in such a small enclosed space. the newborn is so used to having that little space that they get scared when theres nothing there to protect it, so when they make a movement while sleeping and nothings there to stop it, it starts to cry out of fear. these sacks, when zipped up all the way, act like a womb outside a womb. whenever the newborn makes a movement, they have that comfort of having something there to protect it. that, my friend, is why that baby is in a pillow case ☺️
