Yeah, I see Circuit City and it’s employees joined the festivities today, as did the U.S. Postal Service!!

The USPS is laying off 40,000 workers but said customers will not notice.

This latest thing with USPS is just a part of the picture. They had well over 800,000 employees just 5 years ago. This will take them to nearly 600,000.

Mail volume over that period is up, number of deliveries is up too (more houses for one thing), but PRODUCTIVITY DUE TO AUTOMATION is way up.

Jobs weren't shipped overseas.

Democrats have demonstrated themselves incapable of dealing with automation, productivity improvement, and deflation. This postal employment disaster has all three elements. I expect the Democrat elite to intervene at some point
