Why don’t you break down what the 80,000 veterans were doing and we can decide if it was worth keeping them on the payroll? Veterans deserve many things but a job that is wasteful and may not be necessary is not one of them.

Push economically as hard as he can is what Trump should do. Let freedom ring.

China scored 9 out of 100 and was rated “not free” in the Freedom in the World 2025 report by the Washington-based nongovernmental organization (NGO) Freedom House, which ranked 195 countries and 13 territories on political rights and civil liberties for 2024.

I remember starting to hear about their treatment of uhygurs and the stories seemed to suddenly stop, but I don’t think they stopped

Um, I think that's the White House's job. I guess we'll see what they say. My dad's a Vietnam veteran, hope this doesn't affect his care.

You’re the one categorizing them as being mistreated I’m asking you why are you saying that if you don’t know what the jobs were and why they were eliminated?

Our company is going through job elimination right now. It happens that doesn’t mean those people aren’t valuable. It just means that the job they were doing was no longer necessary. It sucks.

The private sector has it happen all the time no reason why government sector should be immune to it.

A few hoarder households used to get that stuff delivered every. single. day. I'd just plop it down in their garage next to the mountain of all the other bull

I had a lady get multiple packages daily back when we were doing that orange Temu delivery bag crap.

Are we still getting temu by the way? Few months back I remember just pallets and pallets giant piles of them, people’s jobs just unpacking the shipments but I feel like I haven’t seen that in a while

80,000 out of 400,000 workers is a bunch of labor. The VA had a great year last year with hitting their appointment numbers, etc. according to the AP article.

I just really hope they don't hurt vets. I mean really.

Although to be fair they should be keeping lots of those guys and stopping so many of you from being denied the 9.5 list right?

Me either. I think the contract ended weeks ago

No disagreement for me

Of course. But according to the company volume is going to drop. So they’re not hiring and they’re laying off people because they’re closing older buildings to modernize.

Heard anything about SurePost’s fate? Are they going to reclassify the service or are they trying to renegotiate with the USPS?

I believe the USPS partnership is over.
Reclassification coming with an increase in price. And they are giving it a new name.
