USPS was fine until the current admins work to gut it. And going further back, USPS was profitable until a 2006 law required it to prepay health benefits 50 years in advance.
But yeah lets privatize it so the current postmaster general who has millions invested in USPS competitors can profit more
Itās actually 75 years in advance that theyāre required to fund due to that law.
Also itās a service literally written into the constitution. Itās not supposed to be profitable.
In other news, I got a Kappa recently thatās supposedly a āB-gradeā that I literally cannot find a flaw with. Super fun throw and I love the laser engraving!
I havenāt had any issues with usps recently. Actually, had 2 packages in the last 2 weeks get here literally in 2 days. A third will be here when I get back from Pennsylvania on tuesday. Maybe it depends on the area? Iām on the east coast.
I was sent some bearing blanks from @YoYoExpertGarrett and everyone he sent them to got theirs but I donāt know where mine are, I havenāt checked the Mailbox at the address he sent them to in a bit because my big sister was exposed to someone who had Covid and had to quarantine. She got negative test results on Tuesday night. I reckon Iāll check it soon.
@YoYoExpertGarrett tried to send me some bearing blanks two separate times and I didnāt receive either of the attempts, so youāre not the only one! Probably got stuck in machines somewhere along the line.
Can anyone tell me when Duncan started making amazing Yoyos again? Just tried a tourney, orbital gtx, freehand al, and butterfly al and these are all amazing. They arenāt just smooth and stable players, but they provide something new and interesting.
So Iāve been pretty down in the hobby for the past month and not having much fun at all. Hit a rut and lost a lot of my enthusiasm. Sometimes when I donāt have a bunch of enthusiasm moving me, it can feel like moving a mountain to do things for me.
Then I was talking to a friend yesterday on the forums and I decided itās been a while since Iāve payed things forward (my goodness so many have done so much for me in this community! )ā¦so Iād like to do something nice for him.
Itās the best Iāve felt in the hobby for weeks and it was in that moment that I realized that when Iām actively doing nice things for peopleā¦those are the best of times Iāve had in this hobby.
Doing nice things and paying the karma forward is my jam.
Itās not about landing awesome tricks, or putting long hours into practice. Itās not about progressing and showing off and making people proud.
Iām at my best when Iām being friendly, straight up, and kind.
At the moment Iām not even really throwingā¦Iām more of a āfanā/spectatorā¦but at least I can still do kick ā ā ā ā ā ā ā ā ā ā for people .
haha I must sound conceited as hell.
Just wanted to share.
I being nice and it feels so damn good to be able to pay a tiny bit of the kindness yaāll have showered me withā¦back.
