    From what I hear that is true. Surprisingly, UPS and Louisville are not similar.

      Knowing the general make up of the Air Force Officer Corps I’d say they go hand in hand.

        Don't think corporations 'own' cities. I would say partner...and that is actually quite important as they are an understandably major user of services...and can provide lots of local benefits themselves.

        I've done research and work for local governments, and they are really, really trying to do their best for the public.

        Don't have any more recent data...but the PO lost over a billion each year from 20017 through 2015. Its just like many other services that are unwanted by the private sector...they're very tough on the finances.

          What's your point? Because I think you completely missed mine perhaps?

          The Post Office shouldn't need to make a profit. It's an essential government service.

            Which is true, but the AF population is dwarfed by Fort Carson.

              It looks like we're in agreement.

                If they were at 59, I could see someone switching parties to give them 60.

                But even with a blue wave that's a borderline tsunami, the Dems can only realistically reach 54 or 55 Senate seats next January. And if I had to wager money, I'd put the over under at 50. The map is that bad this year.

                  Yep. It's at 50. They need 51 because Saruman the White is the deciding vote.

                    I could see a Republican Senator in a blue state pulling a George Wallace ("Guess what? I woke up this morning and No More Racism!!!")

                    But are there even any Republican Senators in blue states anymore? One of the consequences of them going Full Nazi is no room in the party for anybody with even a slice of functioning brain any more.

                    Actually, there are:

                    CO 2020
                    ME 2020
                    NV 2022

                    and some other targets:

                    FL 2022 (Rubio isn't flipping, but that would sure be funny)
                    NC 2020
                    NC 2022
                    OH 2022
                    PA 2022
                    WI 2022

                      I think AutoZone is HQ'd there as well.

                      MEM also has a pretty big office that is the center for Hilton IT ops. The suits sit at HQ in Virginia, of course.

                        NBC News reported this week on the latest findings from the Joint Committee on Taxation, which suggest the plan’s progressive critics were on to something.

                        The deduction, which ranges up to 20 percent, will shower $40.2 billion in tax breaks on owners of pass-throughs – largely businesses owned by an individual or a partnership, or those “S” corporations that kick income and losses to shareholders for tax purposes – in 2018, the Joint Committee on Taxation estimated. The provision was included in the larger overhaul of tax rates enacted in December.

                        In 2018, the lion’s share of the benefit – $17.4 billion, or 44.3 percent of the total – will go to roughly 200,000 Americans making $1 million or more who claim the pass-through deduction, the committee said. Another $3.6 billion, or 8.9 percent, will go to a similar number of taxpayers who earn $500,000 to $1 million.

                        By 2024, the tax deductions will amount to $60.3 billion, and those making $1 million or more will account for $31.6 billion (52.4 percent) of that.
                        Every single tax cut legislator in this country can all go **** themselves. Either get creative or just stop. This isn't creativity, it's theft.

                            Sure, why not.
