'Tain't nothin'. Just wait until we have a National Health Service. Oh, the Taj Mahals that will be built to house thousands and thousands of "workers" with below average IQs, each contributing NOTHING to anyone's medical care.

It must be assumed that this was a non-voluntary transfer. I once worked for a federal agency and that was the policy they developed after losing a couple of grievances because the alternative to accepting the transfer was dismissal. They contracted with a specialist real estate company for that purpose.
I would only question why he was transferred in the first place.

Nearly all government agencies are staffed with liberal democrats who do nothing but steal money from taxpayers and this is what they are best at.

This house is so huge it took three (
count them) "reporters" to cover the story.
These people don't even try to hide their crimes any longer.
Sharpen your pitchforks, and grease & sharpen your guillotines. Our Tree of Liberty is wilting.

Must be Postmaster Hopson managed to get himself some decent bonuses each year to be able to afford such a nice house.

Awful big house for a postmaster. I guess the taxes were so high, he couldn’t afford the landscaping.

Hopson is now the customer service manager for the USPS branch in Carrollton, Texas. A 9 to 5 USPS customer service manager can afford an executive mansion? That's a 2 month project just to pack and unpack 8,400 square feet of house belongings.

Looks like the "retirment home" that Reverend Wright's flock purchased for him.

This is actually an incredible story...
I'm going to pass it along in e-mail, and I encourage everyone else to do the same.

My company once was a tenant in a building that was full of real estate and finance companies. During smoke breaks I learned that a lot of these huge houses had very little furniture and a few empty rooms. After a mortage payment and a Volvo parment there wasn’t much left for these two income Yuppies to get furniture and they were too uppity to get second hand stuff.

Nearly all government agencies are staffed with liberal democrats who do nothing but steal money from taxpayers and this is what they are best at. But among the mail handlers, clerks and carriers who get their hands dirty and sweat to actually move the mail, there's plenty of conservatives.
