    San Francisco will rename a post office in honor of the late Sen. Dianne Feinstein

    And here I thought I would never have to hear her name again. Fucking clueless neoliberal Democrats. It’s not enough she got rich fucking us over, now we’re expected to honor the memory of it. Wasn’t there a sewage treatment plant in need of a name?

      Jello Biafra once called her the worst person he’d ever met. And added a “really” to that.

        He also called her a “whore for police brutality”. She would personally come see police raids on punk shows in the early 80s in th SF area.

      I hope it’s the post office in the tenderloin that takes general delivery mail for homeless people without an address.

        I hope that post receives extra funding as that’s a very important service for an at-risk population. Things like that are when I’m very happy to pay taxes as they’re providing a needed service.

          IIRC taxes don’t pay for the USPS. It’s funded by stamps and mail.

            It’s funded by both. However since 1971 there have been efforts to privatize it, and trying to defund it by requiring the post office to keep liquid funds equal to the entire pension burden of it’s employees. Thankfully that requirement was lifted in 2022

      Honestly, I think it’s hilarious. Imagine having a post office named after you.
