USPS, EV’s and Cornhole

March 6, 2024

To Biden: “Every breath you take, and every move you make, every bond you break, every step you take, I’ll be watching you.” Song lyrics from The Police.

This is a picture of the front door area at our local Post Office. It is obvious that the PO has management and employee issues. Postal workers earn about $55,000 a year. In 2023, the USPS had 506,000 employees, most are unionized. Each city post office has 12-20 workers, including supervisors. Wonder why the trash can has not been emptied? Additionally, last fiscal year the USPS lost $6.5 billion. First class postage rate is now $.68. What a disgrace.

Winthrop University is located in Rockhill, SC. The university has 4,700 students. Cost per year is $25,000 to $30,000. However, if you can play cornhole, you can get an athletic scholarship. Yes-the University has started granting scholarships in cornhole, the bar and backyard game. Will the scholarship players need a strength and conditioning coach???

EV’s are expensive to drive. A new study reveals that entry level cars like the Honda civic or the Subaru Impreza cost about $9.46/one hundred miles driven. EV’s of similar type cost about $12. 48 when charged at home. Even higher cost ($15.98) when charged commercially. This is according to a new study using data from the US Energy Information Agency. The results are similar for mid-sized cars with gas fueling prices at $10.71 per 100 miles, while a Type 3 Tesla costs $12.61 per 100 miles to charge. EV’s do not save you money!
