The number of packages UPS shipped today...setting a new record

All thanks to Tech... new sorting scans the package and allows them to be sorted faster at the regional hubs.... amazing if you think about the sheer number

anyone care to guess at how many packages contains coins?

    UPS? Coins? Maybe 0.1%.

    Wow!

    Of course, they're not even close to what the USPS does.
    I decided to change calling the bathroom the John and renamed it the Jim. I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.

    Most likely unfunded pensions, creditors, and depreciation. Assume it would be Santa after all of that.

    Seems that they have received $3,000,000,000 already and have maxed a $15,000,000,000 federal loan at no doubt 500 basis points under the inflation rate. The pension bailout is soon to come, but hey, money is free!
