I do buy some of my groceries at an auction (We buy a hog about every 6 or 8 months and I butcher it myself)
If the Post Office is a stand alone company, why is the Government covering their deficit?

Because that is the way the government is allowing them to operate. Called rules and regulations, just as with the auro industry, the meat packing industry, the firearms industry, etc., etc.

BTW, buying a hog at auction is a bit of a streatch of calling buying your groceries at an auction, but you may feel that way if you wish.

Buying groceries at auction is buying loaves of bread, canned vegies, product, etc., etc. Thats buying groceries.

Or do you go to the public auction house once to bid on items similar to the above?

BTW, be watching for the increase in gas pricing because of federal regulations.

In case you doubt the P O is a GOV entity remember that your community police can NOT issue a violation to a P O vehicle or its driver.

As far as gas prices go check back and listen to his speeches AFTER his first election. "Your utility bills WILL double. Gas will be $6.00 per gallon."

There were so many things he promised and did not deliver on,so many things he did that WE did not approve etc but none of them were mentioned as a challenge in his second election.

I have seen presidential elections for over 60 years and NEVER saw one that was handed to a candidate on a GOLDEN PLATTER like the last election or 2.

Well according to this

And this

it is and it isn't.

Sooooooooooooooooo, now we only need to define whatever is is, I guess it is what it is however.

Regarding the price of gas, I see after all these years and now a lower consumption of gas we now must get the sulfur out of the gas, thus increasing the cost.

Sort of makes you wonder if our "friends" really want some of this legislation in place but don't have the guts to do it themselves don't it??? It is interesting to note that when Government changes bad legislation seldom gets thrown out AND if it does it is never the whole lot, just a part of it so that we get stuck with what is left!

I have no argument about the PO being a gov entity, but this is not true. The USPS cannot be ticketed and cannot be compelled to pay a fine, but an individual driver is another matter. Direct from the PO own safety manual-

B. Civil Laws

You must obey all state and local traffic laws when
driving any Postal Service vehicle. You will receive no
special privileges or rights as a postal driver. Police
citations for traffic violations are your personal responsibility.
Promptly report them to your supervisor while
on duty.

Postal carriers can and are ticketed while working. Most parking regs are pretty much ignored for mail carriers as long as it is a quick stop, but not driving offences.

What does the PO have to do with guns and ammo price gougers?

I'm a little unclear on that myself, Blacksmith. Seems we had a few pages of off-topic posts. I think it came up somewhere during the discussion of the evils of capitalism but I skimmed most of that.

All well and good discussion, but I want to know if P.K.'s friend of a friend has dropped his price on primers yet? He's 10 large out of pocket if he paid average retail for them. He could probably make 10% if he prices them right, NOW. Later he'll be lucky to break even.

I haven't heard from him at this time, not suprising though, IIRC I think I was laughing at him. If my speculation was on target and he is one and the same then no, he's going to stay at the highest possible price point untill it's too late. My money is on them makeing their way to the local gun shows/CL/GB etc.

[Blacksmith]

He will probably spend a lot on table rent at many gun shows before he gets what he wants. Maybe he will still have them for the next shortage by which time inflation will make his price seem reasonable.

[Superfly]

OMG the next shortage NO way Never can that happen. Crawls under bed and hides i do

[Blacksmith]

If you don't think it can happen again you will get caught short. When the prices come down stock up and keep enough on hand to keep you going as the minimum stock level you never go below.

Funny story. I was just browsing through Our Town, and in my just awakened fogged mind I thought the title of this thread was "The cougars are getting edgy"

For a second I had to ask myself why there was a thread on older women wanting to date younger men in Our town.

Gosh, if they are looking here they must be gold diggers, going after the social security checks! Do you realize how old a cougar would have to be, to be after this bunch? Not to mention desperate!

[Love Life]

Well I reckon a cougar would have to 125 years old to go after Bad Water Bill.

Yo'all should be o-k, no worries outrunning them "gold diggers" with the walkers, it's the ones with those illegal "Rascals" you need to watch out for!
