Dear Therese Program,

I don't know when you'll receive this - as the Mail is under political attack by the Drumpf Administration ahead of the election in which voting by mail will be critical in getting democratic representation in the electoral college.
But I just wanted to say it's always a pleasure & a privilege to listen.

- Sincerely, RevRab

Jett:

It's all about the letters @Therese Hope you are doing well.

@Rev Rabbity as a retired USPS worker, I think you're putting yourself in a pretty crappy position, I know just how unreliable and incompetent the Post Office is.

Funny how organizations seem to perform worse and worse when they're systematically stripped of funding and support while being openly derided and attacked. It's like breaking someone's leg before a race then saying "See? Told you they couldn't run worth a damn."

USPS should have been Socialized long long ago.
Shocking - but maybe not everything is about making profits for someone on the top of a Corporate pyramid scheme. Maybe some things are for the People. With less & less support all the time the USPS has been accepted as reliable enuff to deliver ID's, medicines, IRS forms ....even Drumpf's own mail in ballots matter of fact...

@Rev Rabbit Well, that is the story in a nutshell. There's many guys at the top making the big bucks but not doing anything to improve things, and they always make the wrong decisions when they do.

It's like the Kobayashi Maru test, IRL. There's no way to pass, but you do learn a lot about one's character.

Jett:

No, they have invested in bad equipment, when something works well, they usually do away with it. The main problem is these higher ups don't know anything about delivering mail. Maybe if they consulted with the people actually doing the work it would improve.

This is part of the oft derised late period of Albert Ayler's career (and as Therese has demonstrated, an ill-founded opinion). Thanks, Therese, rarely hear this record! Back to work!

We're sitting outside and sweating our way to the sunset with you, Therese. Every time I get up to poke a button on this confounded machine so it won't turn off, the dog steals my seat. At least the mosquitoes have died down some. Some.

But the tunes are cool!

It's funny, cats love me, if I visit someone with cats, the cats gravitate to me. I'm allergic to them, but I still have great affection for them. My ex- girlfriend's cat used to love to sleep on my foot.
