"In some places, French postal workers now pick up prescriptions, return library books, and deliver flowers. Last year, only twenty eight per cent of La Poste’s revenue came from sending mail."

Services can evolve in positive ways to meet new and growing needs.

What To Do When Terrible People Die A Polite Guide to Emotional Freedom and Light Social Awkwardness

To be clear…

No one deserves to die for being a dick.

At the same time, no dick deserves to be lauded just because they’re dead.

Instead of arguing about what's false, bypassing shifts the focus from the misinformation to a new, more positive alternative.

Here are some examples and why bypassing can be useful πŸ‘‰ scienceupfirst.com/misinformati...

Trump Tariffs Blocked by U.S. Court of International Trade (Gift Article) The U.S. Court of International Trade said the president had overstepped his authority under the federal emergency powers law he invoked.

Most of Trump's tariffs were just ruled illegal (because they were based on nonsense).

This is the second best possible off-ramp for the U.S. economy. The best would be if Congress were to take back the power the Constitution gave it.

The key to being a Leafs fan is to prepare for maximum disappointment. Being embarrassed 6-1 in game five was really bad. But pure disappointment is for the Leafs to win tonight, and then blow game seven at home.

Thinking that we should initiate a US citizens exchange program where we trade each of these jokers and associated rally goers for woke doctors and professors. 100 of ours for one of theirs (the exchange rate 😁).

NOW FOR HAWLEY-SMOOT PROSPERITY
New York World

The House passed the Tariff Bill Saturday amid Republican prophecies of sunshine and prosperity. And as its members assembled and girded up their loins for this final action the stock market went into another slump; the price of wheat fell to the lowest point within thirteen months, and the price of cotton to the lowest level within three and a half years.
