  • I talk to postal workers every day for work. The postal system is very deliberately being sabotaged from the top. Recently I was told that sorters were no longer allowed to work overtime. If there is more mail one day, they just have to leave some of it for the next day. If this happens for days in a row (because of Valentines Day cards or tax season to randomly pick hypotheticals) they fall further and further behind every day.

    The federal administration wants you to think the postal service is a failure so they are forcing it to fail. They want to sell it out to FedEx, UPS, etc so they can raise the prices and make huge profits.

    Look, I don’t know shit. I’m just going by Wikipedia.

    The Sunni hadith scholar Al-Tirmidhi quotes Muhammad as having said:

    The smallest reward for the people of Heaven is an abode where there are eighty thousand servants and seventy-two houri, over which stands a dome decorated with pearls, aquamarine, and ruby, as wide as the distance from al-Jabiyyah to Sanaa

    Jamiʽ at-Tirmidhi

    There are six things with Allah for the martyr. He is forgiven with the first flow of blood (he suffers), he is shown his place in Paradise, he is protected from punishment in the grave, secured from the greatest terror, the crown of dignity is placed upon his head—and its gems are better than the world and what is in it—he is married to seventy-two wives among the wide-eyed houris (Ar. اثْنَتَيْنِ وَسَبْعِينَ زَوْجَةً مِنَ الْحُورِ الْعِينِ) of Paradise, and he may intercede for seventy of his close relatives.
