Yep, that's what we're getting from the USPS, that needs to be bailed out for $8 billion a year.
Just imagine how many people could be fed with $8 billion a year.

This x 1000
Jeff Bezos could take it over. We would get our mail from anywhere in two days or less.
Seriously, he’s a logistics genius.

Aside from things only government can do, like national defense, etc., this is always true.
And full audio recording of interrogation:
Soooo, is this guy basically saying that he was coerced into signing a legal document to recant his original statement? He wants us to believe that he didn't recant?
Should we trust Project Veritas?
Again, everyone reporting him as "recanting" is supposedly "according to officials who spoke on the condition of anonymity" or unnamed "Democrat aides". I can't find that anyone has released any supposed signed recant from him, and that interrogation only shows that he signed to acknowledge his rights and stipulate he wasn't being coerced...before the interrogator spends two hours trying to coerce him.
IOW, only anonymous sources are saying he signed anything saying he recanted. Project Veritas is likely the one who advised him to record the interrogation, as that's what Project Veritas is all about. And articles cherry-picking quotes from that recording to pretend he recanted are outright lying. At best, the changes they coerced him into making to his statement only serve to not implicate people, like the postmaster, by name, but doesn't change the nature of the original affidavit.
The recorded interrogation ends before he actually writes or signs an amended statement. So there needs to be evidence if he did, because he's saying he didn't. Anonymous sources against a guy who put his identity out there and has been suspended without pay isn't enough to ruin his life.
"Project Veritas is an American far-right activist group founded by James O'Keefe in 2010. The group uses undercover techniques to reveal supposed liberal bias and corruption and is known for producing deceptively edited videos about media organizations, left-leaning groups, and debunked conspiracy theories.
In March 2020, The New York Times published an exposé detailing Project Veritas' use of spies recruited by Erik Prince, to infiltrate "Democratic congressional campaigns, labor organizations and other groups considered hostile to the Trump agenda". The Times piece notes O'Keefe's and Prince's close links to the Trump administration, and details contributions such as a $1 million transfer of funds from an undisclosed source to support their work. The findings were based in part on discovery documents in a case brought by the American Federation of Teachers, Michigan, which was infiltrated by Project Veritas."----

That's sad when you have to resort to a genetic fallacy.
