The package was sent via US Mail. As I recall, the package went from South Bend to Fort Wayne to Indianapolis to Cincinatti to Detroit to Grand Rapids to my local PO.
South Bend is 160 highway miles away. The books traveled about 600 miles.
When I inquired as to why it took so long, I was told that the USPS has no control over mail when it leaves the country.
I replied, "Well, that certainly explains it."
Even the usps tracking system is fupped ...it is mostly inoperative and just leaves ya wondering when and what will occur next re your parcel somewhere in the system....
Oh, I notice. Plus, forget about tracking anything coming by way of the USPS. Unfortunately, the USPS is Constitutionally protected.
Kasich father is dead, so it won’t affect him.

must be ok, else someone would have noticed long b4 now!

Keep Smiling!

From CNBC:
“LL: If the postal service cannot pay, American taxpayers will be on the hook for those postal benefits correct?
“Chairman Issa: That’s correct. Postal employees are federal employees. All federal pension and retirement benefits are paid from the U.S. Treasury. Since the Postal Service’s operating costs are collected from ratepayers, the Postal Service pays the U.S. Treasury for the costs of federal pension benefits postal workers are legally entitled to receive. Even if the Postal Service cannot or does not make these payments, postal workers are still entitled to pension benefits from the Federal government. So it’s ultimately taxpayers who get stuck with the bill if the Postal Service can’t pay the Treasury for the costs of pensions.”
It is the same for any payment from the Federal Gov including Social Security. There are no trust funds, lock boxes, pension plans, sacred trusts, intergenerational agreements, etc.. at least none that are in anyway legally binding on taxpayers.
The check you receive today was paid from money taken today from someone else. the check you receive today may be eliminated or modified by mere poitics.
Please, no lectures on “earned”, “need”, “service”, “sacrifice”, “selfish”, “fraud”, “cut waste”, “illegals”... any and all of it could be true but it doesn’t change the simple fact that Federal pensions are not earned or accounted for like private pensions. No one can lay claim to the US Treasury beyond the next election.
