Put up or shut the ^&% up. YOU challenged the figure which was status quo for YEARS at the Post Office.
Post a counter figure with accounting or STFU.
And drop the name calling, it is unbecoming of a Freeper.
Stick with me here, now, I know it is difficult for you.
Just because the Washington Post printed an article using the word "Bonuses" doesn't mean that's a fair representation of what they were. Do some friggin comparative research on executive salaries for ANY private sector company 1/4th the size of the USPS. Be sure that you include those HUGE "bonuses" that you quantified by guessing. And oh, BTW, try to keep it w/in the last 4 or 5 years or so, hmm? The "bonus" system you are referring to has not even been around since the time of the 10 year old article you used.
Also, try to wrap your short mental arms around what happens to the bottom line when fuel costs skyrocket and, unlike UPS or FedEx, the USPS is restricted by law from increasing rates to adjust.
Rest assured, if you decide to purchase a clue online and have it shipped to you, the USPS rates will continue to be competitive. BTW -the USPS beats everyone's rates on smaller items, but for the larger boxes UPS is often less expensive, and you need to buy in quantity.
And drop the name calling, it is unbecoming of a Freeper.
You are too funny. Yeah, it's A LOT more "unbecoming" than willful ignorance, foolishness and profanity. Are you sure you didn't mean to write: And ^&%'n drop the ^&%'n name calling, it is unbecoming of uh ^&%'n Freeper.
Now stop bothering me and go read. I'm sure there are 1980's Boston Globe, NY Times and SF Chronicle USPS hit pieces of impeccable accuracy just waiting for you.
