Here is a
simple question.
What is the
basic financial accounting of the U.S.P.S. and where is it bleeding money?
Obviously, it
needs to become defunct if we actually can not run it at least well enough to
pay for the services and the salaries and all other business expenses
associated with the business end of the post office.
We may need to
explore, undoing some of its new technology, self-killing web technology and
offerings, and instead of trying to compete with UPS and any other shippers,
just do what you do best.
If we need to
change it, we need to quickly analyze the numbers, and if they are not readily
available, and perhaps they are, I do not know yet, please respond to this with a comment if you know, or even a link...
Off subject...
anyway, if
however we need to change or abolish it, we need to first look at where it's
bleeding cash in layman’s' terms.
Should this
really be that big a deal?
I think they
have created their own monster and been inefficient for a very very long time
always changing to slow for the actual market speed of change and logistics,
law and demand, simple business models to consider too, or rethink and make a new business philosophy that we know will work, and start to make the needed
changes immediately.
The things this the government does get away with are ridiculous.
THEY HAVE
BECOME RUNAWAY FINANCIALLY LIKE A SNOWBALL GATHERING A HEAD OF STEAM DOWN A
MOUNTAIN IN THE ROCKIES IN THE MIDDLE OF AN AVALANCHE...
Is this really
unstoppable?
We need to take
a good time out, and look at things and make changes very rapidly.
What can we
accomplish together here at home much less abroad by spreading the word and
accepting global warming, no matter the cause (and we still need to be lowering
what we know we do emit effects) be it human or cyclical in nature.
The spirit of
we need to change quickly and we need to do it now id the survival of our species
for many more generations if preparation oriented towards the future, and
always utilizing our technology for good and progress, but maybe even perhaps
it could go unused in some marketplaces, bringing "normal" jobs back
quickly.
The jobs have
gone away, we need to make more.
The prices have
gone up.
The companies
have a higher profit margin in accounting terms, with fewer liabilities, such
as employees to name one, but certainly not limited to just that.
How about a
little brainstorm, like...we invite, Post Office makeovers where we group with
a company like Starbucks, and have a nice reading and coffee and internet area
to relax and socialize.
We have
stripped the very soul of our communities across this great country buy our
immoral unethical cutthroat business practices of many large corporations, in
the worst examples and that is only whom I am writing.
We have all
heard the Wal-Mart story a million times and what happens to the small-town U.S.A. when they move in, businesses leave!
That's a fact
easily verifiable.
Now they have
power because we (the government) gave them that power through economic, trade,
and foreign policy matters, issues, and laws that were favorable for them, that
they had the vision to take advantage of, and have virtually taken it to a new
type of monopoly, not where they corner just a market place now, but larger, to
a place where they can control, society, the states, the government, trade.
That is
ridiculous and it is not favorable for any business to operate this way ever
any longer.
It destroys communities,
rips the fabric of the flesh from the soul.
The government
does it stupidly and inefficiently with our post office.
Kill two birds
with one stone and remake them, hire people to do that work, form a business
partnership co/op in which there are incentives to want to invest in the USPS.
Set up new
charitable funds, keep it simple, offers no-frills impeccable service, and
let's get on with this.
I have blended
a few things here, but the quagmire shows something deeper.
Wal-Mart's
incentives are obvious. COLD HARD CASH.
The Government
on the other hand, does not have the efficiency of business like Wal-Mart, and
thankfully not it's nature either, in the way that they look out for the
"WE" the People.
They do not
have the most efficient system possible when it comes to looking out for the
masses in today's modern time that has come upon us so swift; it makes many
feel as they just awake.
Denial kills.
They do abuse
capitalism with lobbyists, which also are archaic and of no financial good for
the people of a country anywhere.
When we see
failings and shortcomings, we must change them!
I mean
peacefully, of course, but change we must or die we will.
It is time for
a massive governmental overhaul. The current administration can run it. It can
be planned and well thought out. It can at least be considered and explored
first, before being turned away.
Dream of what
can be and will be if we decide to make it.
To watch
Stephen Hawken's small series the other night was fascinating.
He is able to
articulate what I often envision.
It is nice to
hear a clearer understanding from him of what can make one feel a little nutty
quite honestly.
Just makes you
question where do these thoughts come from? Why do they flow non stop?
It has always
been like this since I was a child...good great deep thoughts...philosophical
in nature, and always blending science and art carefully for a better future.
Our the infrastructure of federal transportation has many places in disrepair all
around our infrastructure.
We have a bridge here in Cumberland that cuts through the heart of the city
and is elevated and it is getting a great and well-needed makeover, facelift,
re-do, whatever you like to call it.
The C.C.C. from
administrations of long ago did some work all around here.
Incredible
work, that still stands strong to this day.
Made well, by
people, yearning to work, be independent and live the American dream.
Perhaps The American Dream has not actually left the building, so to speak, but merely is
transforming into a new dream.
Let's all be a
part of that dream together and redesign the government together.
The proper way
is to do it legally through the current government, as to not upset the Apple
cart, but keep our roots and heritage, accept it, move forward with new lessons
in mind, and well recorded for historical purposes, which may be taking care of
itself today with cloud computing and the internet, to a degree anyway.
There are
serious issues at hand with cloud computing too if you know the science of it
and see its vulnerabilities and its incredible abilities, easily abused in the business world, because understood by few, it is easily abused, and then they
best try to cover or erase their tracks.
Maybe the
accounting firms of great financial ruin in the United States had everything right...and the money
did not exist because it was skimmed off the top.
Oh...wait that
is what happened!
So the
accounting firms went don hard too because they became puppets.
We can be
puppets and go down hard together too.
I am fascinated
with Italy's decision to form a new government.
I have
suggested it for quite some time now in my writing.
We as a country
need to follow suit and explore the options.
So many topics,
but all interwoven, and again a quagmire stew of illusion and failure sprinkled
all over the top with a lot of good times over the years.
I am a Patriot,
George Mason University, although I did not finish earning my degree, and I am a Federal, Fort
Hunt High School and I am a Wolverine, West Potomac High School, and an Owl, Waynewood Elementary School and an Eagle, and a this and a that like we all are.
I enjoy my life
and its experiences and opportunities very much, no matter the hat which I may
where.
I learn all
along the way, and read more than ever before in my life. I study something every day. We all do really, one way or another.
So we could start
with the Post Office's and in the meantime gather a National Consensus, about a course of action to take in peaceful and legal ways if we should choose a path
as such, or none of it perhaps and continue as we are.
I am not seeing
anything positive in any aspect of our economy.
We should be
and desperately need to be back in the marketplaces with more dominancy, and in
proportion to our population with imports, and in accordance with other
populations, as well as, reasonably supply-demand and aspects to be considered,
concerning exports and imports both actually.
If need be,
make a new marketplace for the future.
We have the
means now to be the best bean counters in the history of the world (computers),
so there is no excuse for this financial condition, but rather the fact that
the simple context of the entire ineptitude of our government and all of it's
HOT AIR, are either greed-based (think Rome) on one side or ignorance, through
perhaps never be shared with what is the truth in mere knowledge for example
(i.e.), and/or because there is no spirit left in which to act and stand up for
one's self with fervor and determination, but rather completely sapped of
energy, spirit, and all.
That's what I
see in a nutshell...so what do you all think?
I would like to
hear some great feedback...any point of view appreciated, as more aspects of
anything gives us a better bigger picture of the entire thing that we are
examining to start with, and we all see things a little differently through
experiences eyes and we all have a great uniqueness to each our very own...may
we all dig deep and find that now, that essence that is the spirit if the soul
of life, and rebuild this great country, before it is too late.
We have city
after city with huge modern-day, current time, RUINS.
Does that look
like the ship is still afloat? ...or sinking!
Peace, Steve
