It increased in Oct I believe for the holidays. First Class went up by $.25 and Priority went up by ~$.50 (might depend on the weight).

eBay Managed Payments sounds a lot like Amazon's system. I personally don't like it but if it increases seller protection then I'm all for it.

Its not a temporary price hike. Thats a lie. Its a transition price hike so they dont have to deal with customer sticker price shock when the real increas comes early next year. This past year or so theyve shifted to the zone system with first class mail. So the further it goes the more it cost. So much variance in cost now so its not easy to forecast expenses for business. It really hurts free shipping cheaper listings.

new rate hikes for 2021 coming . Huge increases for all types. Its getting really expensive. Meanwhile china still can ship for pennies halfway across the world with sweetheart post office deals where the usps actually loses money. We get to pay for it.

You can also look for good deals and spend 25 to get your person something better. Deals are rarer these days though.

Even Fox News called it for Biden.  

But now I'm seeing some ultra-right comments on twitter about how Fox News can't be trusted any more and they are just appeasing the left or something....umm...what?

 

Fox news , news division, isnt really conservative. They are pretty mixed . Everyone that leaves the news division ends up at CNN or NBC getting a show or as a contributer. What you are thinking of is their night opinion shows(heavy right) . I dont care for most, but ill watch tucker. Hes pretty much the only show Ill catch on there. Well also Gutfelds weekend show. Its pretty funny. Did you miss the wife of murdoch(owner of fox news) cheering the biden win on twitter? Conservatives are leaving in droves. They are either going to newsmax which I dont really care for and OAN which is also a little too much for my blood. I dont like watching one source for anything. You need to listen to opposition and how they think. Agreeing with everything is boring and not helpful. Its kinda like in here with the huge echo chamber of the same opinions. Online podcast/shows that are conservative leaning/red pilled are blowing up. People will probably stay for tucker, but fox yeah is getting hit hard. 

Newest episode was good. Love that we got to see a deeper star wars recurring character(bo katan). One off / ocassional recurring  characters are needed but i like seeing this connected. Feels like this episode is setting up this season nicely.

Nobody thinks the 2016 election was stolen, but there is legitimate concern of foreign interference in the realm of social media and spreading fake news. That’s undisputed from both sides of the aisle

There have been studies of the range of russia facebook impact. It was pretty much nothing.

Only if you've been living in a cave since March and didn't realize we were in a pandemic.

yes and with more mail in votes proportionally you should see atleast relatively similar acceptance rate. Not 30 times the rate. It will definitely be a higher rate with more sample but 30 seems like quite alot.

What is the issue here?  Biden won.  It's over.  Move on.  Hilary lost by roughly the same margins.  You didn't see her suing or whining like a little bitch.

Key differences. Mass Mail in votes. The allegations/evidence being collected has to do with the counting and procedures of those. 

Mail in votes being accepted and approved at 30 times the rate of previous elections is pretty sketch.

Pretty sure she still thinks the 2016 election was stolen from her. And don't be surprised if people become consumed with "BDS" over the next 4 years. 

Why not just let Trump do his thing and prove to everyone that Biden won legitimately? It's supposed to be a "fair and free" process, so let it be confirmed as such. 

 

exactly.

We know nothing went on because there is zero evidence anything happened lol

 

And your stance is reasonable (and I agree) but is put into a different context when you have the loser screaming about how its rigged every 10 Seconds.  There used to be “norms” in politics, but not after Trump. 
 

Like, people never used to accuse past presidents of treason with no actual evidence, and past presidents actually knew how the government functions  

I dont know. The 283 page sworn affidavit in just michigan released today would say otherwise. Sworn testimony from multiple sources. 

Mail in ballots were accepted in this election at 30 times the rate of any other election. 

We can repeat no evidence over and over(democrats cant speak something into existence), but doesnt mean its true. Real evidence takes time. Let the situation play out. Is there enough to change the election, maybe not, but you cant get evidence instantly for court. That takes some time. These are things that need to be looked into.

I would think democrats would want this. So they dont have to sit there and have to defend the same allegation of voter fraud. No evidence claim appears false. Enough evidence to change the election. Maybe not. Its worth it to investigate to confirm.

I can’t believe there are people who still don’t think Trump is racist lol

I know democrats think repeating sonething 800 million times makes it fact, but thats not how this works

Seems like a legitimate proposition to me. I dont see whats so wrong about going through a process you are allowed to do. If you know absolutely nothing went on then what are you so upset and in such a damn hurry about. Hillary told joe not to conceed no matter what. Joe biden isnt president elect till the electors meet in december. Lets chill till then.

...lol

? That makes you look worse lol

You can think whatever you want of trump. I dont care, but if you're just going to be disingenuous with the "good people on both sides" lie then youll get called out.

Lmao u actually believe he said there are good people on both sides meaning neo nazis were good people

^^ imagine being this guy

Every Democratic candidate that said they wanted single payer healthcare won their campaign.

The democrats that lost were the moderate democrats.

70% of the country want medicare for all that is the center of the country.

delusional

https://thehill.com/hilltv/what-americas-thinking/428958-poll-voters-want-the-government-to-provide-healthcare-for

Fist off you can frame poll questions to engineer a result. So I dont really buy those polls.

So this is saying that only if it means keeping private insurance. You see......right there that wont happen. Private insurance cant compete with tax payer subsidized healthcare. Thats like saying hey open a thrift store next to goodwill. See if you can compete. Everyone with a brain knows adding a public option is a trojan horse for wrecking the private insurance industry. To think contrary to that is naive.

Correction there will still be some private insurance. Supplemental that you wont be able to afford. Itll just go the wealthy that alot of you progressives hate.

Youll have healthcare. You're young, it wont be a big deal. Most of us here are still young or relatively young. But youll be left with dimenishing quality care. Quality care in this country is top notch. Once you go to universal healthcare you cant ever undo it. Its forever. So if it is a disaster then this is a very dangerous road to go down. There is a reason people come here from all over the world. I get it , there are some not so great aspects. There are several things you could do to make healthcare so much cheaper, and you can do that without burning down an entire system.

You want to give government all this power, but you do understand that means someone like donald trump could be in power controlling your healthcare.

Not everyone who supports Trump is a racist, but everyone who is a racist supports Trump. I think that is essentially pretty true.

Didnt richard spencer want/vote for biden this time around? Trump didnt create his ethnostate.

Thats a load of horseshit dude. I personally dont think trump is racist. If we keep repeating it maybe itll make it true. I dont know whats in his heart. You dont either. I do know Robinette has said some pretty racially insensitive shit. Nobody cares about that. People want to label trump a racist so its easier to pen him as an enemy. I havent seen really one definitive bit of evidence that trump is racist. Its always a word twist or trying to frame a policy racist.

On a side note, I just checked ebay for some Duplo "sheets" for my twins and lo and behold guess who owns most of the listings 

Quest I need the rectangular sheets.  Scrounge some up!

kneel before your racist king, and I can look for some duplo.

In all honesty baseplates for duplo arent a common occurence with me. They sometimes come with sets

Nah.  It's an age thing.  Older = higher rate of Republicans.  Every football community I'm in is older, and leans heavily conservative.

And those guys never shut the fuck up

I'm not American, but this is all very amusing, and I can't get over one giant observation I keep having: TV is all anti-Trump, famous people are all anti-Trump, newspapers, radio, all media, just about every person I talk to in real life, on forums etc, just about everyone in this thread, all anti-Trump.  If I had just awakened from a coma, my assumption would be that Trump got somewhere in the neighbourhood of 1 - 2% of the popular vote.  But he got like 45% of the popular vote!!!!!!  Just under half of ALL AMERICANS voted for him!!!  Where are these people?  Why aren't 45% of the people in this thread pro-Trump?  It's the most bizarre thing I've ever seen in politics.  Even the pollsters were wrong in the US.... twice!  Can some smart 'Murican explain this to me, please!!!

People are around all over here. But the demographic of the type of person here stereotypically is a liberal. 

Another reason being conservative leaning people usually dont feel the need to chat about their politics so much. Especially to a crowd of liberals

Yeah every left leaning person ever is in a group chat and we had that celebration planned for weeks if our fraud plan was successful. We’re all a big hive mind

I guess you didnt just lose your conservative politics. You also lost your sense of humor.

Im not worried. I dont let it affect my life. It will be less entertaining for lots of other reasons.

What the fuck happened to democrats? Used to get along on social issues etc. Your corporate/tech backed neo lib won. I hope we dont reignite that war machine.

When google is on your side Im sure you are on the right side of history. Its not rage against the machine anymore. Its rage with the machines.

Just now, Tulpa said:

It's not like you just walk in on January 20th and start presidenting. Trump was given the full three months in 2016, and Obama actually tried to help him out (including giving him a pandemic playbook ... which was ignored.)

States have been using absentee and mail in ballots for year. Oregon for decades.

It's only because Trump lost that it suddenly becomes a huge deal.

He thinks he has won, so he is already forming his transition team and his team is already reportedly talking to foreign leaders(The exact thing with the logan act against flynn) they claimed was so heinous. 

You got your corporate neo lib. Hope you get what you want. You got your George W Bush with a side of wokeness.
