WTF-Postal Service to launch clothing line in 2014
Will they ever learn? hf

Chanel. Dior. Armani. Vera Wang. U.S. Postal Service?

The cash-strapped Postal Service announced Tuesday that it has inked a licensing deal with an Ohio-based clothing company to produce a line of apparel dubbed “Rain Heat & Snow.” The attire aims to reach well beyond T-shirts and baseball caps to include “wearable electronics”—like jackets with iPod controls built into the sleeve, USPS spokesman Roy Betts explained to Yahoo News.

political correctness is a doctrine.... fostered by a delusional, illogical minority...... and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media; which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.

Well hell, their broke...

I thought it was "against the rules" for a Gov organization to get involved in private sector marketing and production of goods. I'm prob totally wrong but it was something I just thought of.

Perhaps if they cut the bureaucracy and the dead weight and provided a streamlined service...they might be self supporting...what a concept!

I know...there has been rules and regulations that affected their sustainability and viability and I am not knowledgable about all the details...but seriously...I know postal workers at small post offices that have absolute candy coated easy jobs...they sit at a window all day and goof off on their ipads and smart phones till a rural customer comes in to buy stamps or mail off a package...efficiency at it's finest!

The sexists pigs at the post office decided that they could launch a line of male clothing, but nothing for females.

I guess I need a lawyer because I feel discriminated against.

 Quoting: Damrod


The job of the government is to create artificial demand and supply for their corporate overmasters by 1) creating cartels and monopolies for their buddies and 2) manufacturing currency from debt promises that you and your children are supposed to pay off.

Those promises are never really paid off they are just papered over with new promises and associated higher principle and interest (that will never be paid off, etc)

Carry on.
