NextNewsNetwork video synopsis of above article

Partial script:

"This story about Dianne Feinstein making 1 BILLION DOLLARS off the sale of US Postal properties is like an onion, each layer you peel off reveals another layer and so on. But instead of making you cry this onion only makes you angrier and angrier with each layer peeled. The first layer is that the United States Postal Service is broke and to try and make ends meet they must sell off hundreds of post office properties to gain cash flow and reduce their deficit. In a side stinky layer 80% of the postal service's multi-billion dollar deficit is caused by a law that congress passed in 2006 that requires it to pay retiree health benefits 75 years into the future.

This law does not apply to any other government agency. According to a Postal Service report to Congress more than 600 buildings nationwide are "earmarked for disposal". This alone is making people across the country angry because some of these post offices are historic buildings that have been post offices for almost a hundred years.

Corruption knows no limits when you know the right people in the right places.

I am sure that yer average 30’s-40’s-50’s post office building has considerable asbestos presence....the new buyers are probably getting 6-figure abatement allowances.

There's always a way to make a few million off being a US Senator, and Fineswine and Blum never miss an opportunity, while sounding Holier than Thou.

The post office is being killed for political reasons

The post office is dying because it is increasingly obsolete. Technology, ya know.

No corruption or cronyism required. Though they can of course speed up the process.
