And vice versa ~ the various companies and agencies involved have made arrangements for arranging multiparty shipping and delivery.

“I just wish they’d charge half as much for junk mail as they do for letters, instead of only a third.”

I couldn’t agree with you more! But that’s the way government operates. Give the businessman/campaign contributor a deal so he will “juice” your campaign for election, and let the taxpayers inadvertently pick up the tab. Here in CA the government is busy “upping fees” to businesses to avoid pissing off the voters. Examples: Elevator annual inspection fees, doubled. Water service fee for providing a fire sprinkler connection to the city water system, doubled ( even though unless my building burns down, I use no water and haven’t for twelve years). But it isn’t only the government, AT&T provides two phone lines for fire sprinkler supervision ( the alarm company calls daily to make sure the system in functional, rate has tripled this past year.

And the ignorant voters are too effin stupid to realize where the businesses collect the extra money for the increased fees and taxes.

“And the ignorant voters are too effin stupid to realize where the businesses collect the extra money for the increased fees and taxes.”

And our “problem” as you well know is that we have 137 people on the dole or working for that state for every 100 people who actually work productively. This is far worse than the next worst state. The good news is that we will collapse financially sooner than the rest of the country and hopefully begin the long process of reclaiming this once number one in the country state.

LOL!

But, but, we are out of the crisis, and in plus territory, and recovery is well under way, and there are rainbows.

Gov moonbeam said so in his SOS message.

He would not lie....would he? Would he?
