re: UNH's UnitedHealth CEO shot and killed

I haven’t seen this addressed yet. The CEO of a major corporation and he’s walking down the street by himself. Why did he not have a security guy or security detail with him?

I was there too. November 19, 1988. Got our asses handed to us 44 -3. The monsoon game. I was in one of the end zones. The winds blew the Ole Miss flag over and I got hit on the head with the flag pole. Lucky for me no injuries.
re: Amazon:USPS
Posted by Mikey P on 12/7/23 at 11:04 am
I was a mail carrier for 5 years and now i'm a temporary clerk for the holidays. I am not making any excuses for USPS but will give you some info on how things are.
First off, USPS has been severely short handed for years. Nobody hardly applies any more and due to the crazy workload most new hires just quit after weeks or a month or two. USPS management from station level all the way to the top is horrible. They have no people skills and no management skills. I often say they could not manage a kindergarten bathroom break. Although mail volume is steadily decreasing package volume, mostly Amazon, has exploded. USPS entered into a contract with Amazon years ago without the manpower, vehicles, building space and infrastructure to carry out the contract. Most offices have vacant routes because there are not enough workers. The routes may go days without being delivered. On other routes if a carrier is going to be late getting back they are instructed to stop delivering mail but to deliver every package. Many carriers start at 7 or 8 in the morining and some are being made to work to 10 or 11 at night. Are some carriers lazy? Absolutely. Many are just tired of working 6 days a week are 10 to 12 hours a day and are just worn out. Does that lead to shortcuts or them just not making the effort or not delivering? Absolutely. Packages: short handed offices have to borrow workers from other offices who are not familiar with the area. Often the line of travel they are given is outdated and not correct. Management is very slow at updating line of travel or they simply do not. They do what they can but often make mistakes. Packages that are not delivered for a variety or reasons, carrier not familiar and cant find address, carrier told to come back because its too late, or just a lazy carrier. These are scanned in several different incorrect ways. I see alot of "available for pickup at post office". They should actually be scanned as delivery delay but management would have to answer for that so they just lie to the public with a false scan. USPS does received packages from UPS, Fedex, and DHL. Their websites show the package as delivered when its dropped off at usps. However, they always make their drops after packages have gone out for the day. So those packages don't go out until the next day. There are also many lost packages in the system and i have no idea how that happens. Each days we get anywhere from 20 to over 100 miss delivered packages, that is packages we receive but are actually for another office. They go back to the plant the same day then get re routed to the correct office....hopefully. As for the picture of Amazon outside the post office, we simply get too much Amazon for the dock and work room space we have, and not enough workers to get it all out each day. They literally send more than we can handle but they continue sending it. I'm sure the inside of that post office is crammed with pallets of amazon and they had no place to put it other than the parking lot.

Got into QQQ last year at 3 prices. $307, $320, and $355. Rode it all the way to the high and planned to get out at $375. I chickened out and didn't get out til $355.
I got 25% back in at $332. I'm thinking today could be the day to add another 25%

Police: Man charged in Mississippi trooper’s death faces another murder charge in Gulfport
GULFPORT, Miss. (WLOX) - One of the men accused of killing an off duty Mississippi state trooper is also a suspect in a 2019 Gulfport murder.
Gulfport Police tell WLOX News Damion Whittley will be charged with murder and robbery in connection with the death of Delfred Lewis Jr. The Bay St. Louis man was shot and killed on May 8, 2019 in the 600 block of 25th Street.
Damion Whittley and two others were arrested this weekend and charged with the murder of Mississippi Highway Patrol Lieutenant Troy Morris. Whittley is currently being held in Louisiana awaiting extradition to Mississippi.
Authorities said Lt. Morris was driving a mail truck for the postal service early Friday morning when he got a flat tire. Between a radio transmission asking for assistance and when that assistance arrived, Lt. Morris was shot dead as he sat in his truck on the side of U.S. 61 in Jefferson County.
The three men charged with Morris’ murder are 24-year-old Treyon Washington, 17-year-old Cdarrius Norman, and 25-year-old Damion Whittley.
Whittley’s mother said her son has a history of mental health problems and a low IQ.

The mother of one of the suspects says it the fault of the Miss Dept of Corrections and his probation officer, mental illness and low IQ.....not shocked.
ADAMS COUNTY, Miss. (WLBT) -”I felt like... if they helped me when I reached out to them the times I did all of this was could have been prevented,” said Deedra Madison, Saturday. She is Damion Whittley’s Mother.
The 24-year-old is one of three people accused of murdering Mississippi Highway Patrol Lieutenant Troy Morris.
His mother said the last time she spoke to him was hours before the crime.
“I spoke to him on Thursday about getting his life together because he had got into trouble back in 2018 when he was on house arrest and probation with the Natchez probation office. I contacted them to get him help and to come check on him,” said Madison.
Whittley has a history of mental health problems and a low IQ according to his mother.
While on house arrest in Madison’s home, Whittley’s ankle monitor didn’t work properly.
Madison said she reported this problem to the probation officer, Melvin Davis, but nothing was done.
His mother could no longer get updates about his probation after Whittley changed his residential address.
“I’m not upholding Damion for anything he did. If he did it, he need to go to prison. But I just want Natchez and MDOC to know that they’re responsible for losing my child. They lost him to the streets. They never came to check on him. And to this day, they haven’t checked on him to see where he is. It’s like they don’t care,” said Madison.
MDOC has not commented on this case for now.
The Mississippi Bureau of Investigations said Whittley is in Louisiana waiting to be transported back to Mississippi.
