Geee Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Washington Times: Four hundred U.S. Postal Service executives are heading to San Francisco next month for workshops, meetings — and a dance party. And a golf tournament. And a dinner event. That’s according to a report by KTVU, which found 400 USPS staffers, including the postmaster general, are set to attend the four-day National Postal Forum in March at the Moscone Center in California. The trip is expected to cost the flailing agency — which is pushing to stop Saturday letter delivery due to revenue issues — more than $2 million, KTVU reports. An estimated $220,000 is going to spent on exhibit space, according to the news agency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geee Posted February 20, 2013 Author Share Posted February 20, 2013 USPS to Launch New Clothing Line Who are you wearing? Why USPS, of course. The cash-strapped agency announced plans on Tuesday to launch a new line of all-weather apparel and accessories sometime next year. Ladies, don't get too excited, the line will only feature menswear to start. “This agreement will put the Postal Service on the cutting edge of functional fashion,” agency licensing manager Steven Mills said in a statement. “The main focus will be to produce Rain Heat & Snow apparel and accessories using technology to create ‘smart apparel’ — also known as wearable electronics.” The products will be available in "premium department stores" starting in 2014. The USPS is looking for revenue generating opportunties and also to strengthen the brand. (What?!?) Spokesman Roy Betts said “This is one effort among many that the Postal Service is undertaking to respond to the changing dynamics of the marketplace.” No word as to whether you can order the USPS clothes by mail, but my suggestion is to have it delivered UPS if you can. http://www.breitbart.com/InstaBlog/2013/02/19/USPS-to-Launch-New-Clothing-Line Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
