Some quick ACA facts

So this is the new year?

I resolve to get more sleep, read more, finish all projects in a timely manner, get out of the house more, and play with my dogs more. Nothing new really, just more of what I already do. 

My wish list for media resolutions:

Stop the propaganda and lies about the ACA

Stop trying to convince the world the media is liberal

Extinguish the "myth" of liberal media

Focus on the positive aspects of the ACA

Stop being controlled by the Koch brothers, Fox News, Mr. Murdoch, and Bain Capital

Fact check more often

Quit stating the obvious

Report the things that really matter

Stop reporting the stupi statements made by members of Congress

Relax

USPS

On a totally different subject, the USPS here in Georgia are unreliable and down right liars. Several times a year my entire street and sometimes the entire neighborhood does not receive any mail at all. No, these are not listed holidays, these are everyday and average mail days. Seems our post man just gets tired, gives up, and goes home. I have complained to the Postal Service Regulatory Commission a number of times and even contacted our U.S. House of Representative Tom Price about this matter. The first response: "The postal employee handling our route was throwing our mail into a local business dumpster. He was fired and we were assigned a new employee." O.K, can we say, he should be in jail not just fired. Second response: "The new manager of the Doraville, Ga Post Office will be investigating these issues and will correct the problem." They even included her direct phone number so that we may complain directly to her. Oh but you guessed it, when we call the number, no answer or voicemail. So, we attempted to go into the Doraville, Ga Post Office to speak with her directly, and unavailable of course. Third Response: "We are working to fix the problem and are aware of your concerns." Hello, that is not a valid response. First Response from Tom Price: "We are currently investigating this matter and will keep you informed of the findings." Better but vague. Second Response from Tom Price: "A number of employees have been let go and Ms.Hicks assures my office the problem has been resolved." Sounds great but, shortly after this response, no mail again. So, I have complained to both offices again. At some point they will get tired of our rants and listen.
