  1. I wonder if the clowns in mgmt. will be able to keep track of these this time.

    Also interesting that they’re “seeking” a contract.

    What that really means, is no relative, friend, etc. of some mgmt. sleaze isn’t available for the contract.

  2. Contractors will get them and bring them back in a few years, and the postal service will continue paying for them, but that’s okay, as long as the postal truck drivers are not using them. TRUE
