[QUOTE="Richard L, post: 913308, member: 52972"] TrainTrac, I actually agree with you 100% in all your assesments of the various businesses except Miniing Support Jobs...These jobs are more impacted on the economy and recessions. When we can buy the mined resources overseas and ship them here, it is probably because of the cheaper labor and less stringent mining safety laws in those countries. If countries with the cheaper labor, etc do not have the resouces we or other nations need they cannot penetrate our markets. Mining will always be strong were the US has the abundance of resources and there is a high demand for that resource. Of course if the world economy slows down enough, the demand for raw resources will also decline As for the USPS: It a bit unfair to compare the USPS to UPS, FedEx, etc. These commercial parcel deliver services are charging 10 -20 times more than the postal service does. Even USPS Express mail is much cheaper than UPS or FedEx charges for similar service. You can't get either UPS or FedEx to deliver a simple letter by ground for anything close to what the Post Office charges. The problem with the USPS is similiar to AmTrak...The both are in need of a very expensive overhaul and redesign. They are no longer self-sustaining, and have not been so in many decades. The US government keeps pumping in emergency money to keep both of these entities alive, but never enough money to bring them up to date and with prospects of a better future. Perhaps it's time the government gets rid of USPS (and AmTrack) and let commercial companies like UPS or FedEx develop replacement solutions ...Rich [/QUOTE]
