I deliver the mail. I am the LAST person that will get laid off in the USPS.

PS: Thanks for funding my retirement fund.

Oh, but those letter carriers have been laid off -

Of course - your retirement fund is broke - don't you know that? The Feds are going to have to bail it out

And then maybe next year offer USPS letter carriers $25,000 to retire early, if they have enough years in.

Or hardworking middle-class people who wake up at 2:30am everyday so you can find a letter in that magic box at your curb. I'm sure there's plenty of lazy people in the USPS, but they're in every other job, too.
