In North America, USPS and Canada Post both are solely self funded. They are not (ordinarily) funded through tax money. USPS has had bailouts, but that’s not really different from a for profit company, sadly.

I have seen a lot of homeless in downtown Toronto who have a cart or backpack of belongings, and sleep directly on the subway vents with no tent. I get what the other guy is asking, I also don’t see how these metal silhouettes are going to stop someone sleeping on that grate.

I like the idea, but why the fuck is Hank cooking on a charcoal bbq? Does he want to taste the heat and not the meat?!?

I live in Canada and I bbq’ed dinner a couple days ago. We didn’t eat outside, of course, since it’s -10, but grilling is still a go-to method of cooking.

Please done just put salt down without shoveling. It makes piles of slushy salt that at best are a mess, but likely will re-freeze into an uneven hazard. It’s also really hard on dog’s paws. An able bodied guy should be able to use a shovel.
