Obama admin silent as USPS lays off 35,000 workers...with more layoffs to come

[TBF]

135. When you talked about oligarchs v. people you were definitely on the right track -

The more people we can get interested in Occupy the better off we are - people banding together to put pressure on the elite (and vote too while we are still able to but I don't think that is our greatest concern). In terms of waking them up I think we can continue to educate on boards like this (lord knows we have enough trolls despite our best efforts on MIRT), on facebook and twitter, etc... The hope is that we can do a peaceful transition to a more people-friendly economy if we put enough pressure on the ruling class.

There are many more of us than them, and withholding our labor is the other factor in that. If we don't succeed with groups like Occupy conditions are going to keep getting worse. At some point it will get to the point of no return and it will not be peaceful anymore. I'm not advocating that in any way - I just think it is the way things will end up. The 1% of this country should be thanking their lucky stars at night that Occupy came along - because it is a peaceful way to resist and encourage change.

Sadly the destruction of the postal service is just another bolt in the coffin ... I really wish they hadn't done that.
