"It also scraps the annual prepayments, of around $5.5 billion, for future retiree healthcare, a requirement that unions and Democrats have particularly gotten worked up about."

The patient has been in the ICU for years with multi-system failure, on a ventilator, with a Glasgow Coma Scale of 2, bedsores to the bone on all limbs and along the spine, with an amp & gent drip for the septicemia. EEG is flat. Has been since 1996.

The heart is kept going with a pacer, and with a number of pressors via a central line, barely keeping the systolic above zero. The patient’s got a feeding tube, a urinary catheter, and a rectal tube (but still requires manual disimpaction every few days).

The organ donor committee discussed him once long ago: the unanimous consensus was, “I don’t THINK so!”

A family member came by last decade, but will no longer answer when the hospital calls.

The patient is both disabled, and considered a performance artist, and, as such, landed another generous grant last month from the National Endowment for the Arts.

The Feds think the patient is worth saving, and is just as likely to perform a vital federal function as any Democratic voter, dead or alive.

As a counterpoint, USPS may see a resurgence as the scope of NSA snooping impacts the general population. A bit easier to detect if an envelope has been compromised in contrast to a digital communication that gets stored in in a facility in Utah.

Typical...They try to give adrenaline shots while, simultaneously, shooting the patient. The internet sales tax is enough to kill the usps small pkg business with businesses shutting down and people returning to B&M stores, which soon will be fully staffed with new “Rubio’s”.

Contract it out: get twice the service for half the price. Snail mail is a fading antique.
