In November I was in Munich planting beech trees in a spruce forest. One of the reasons it's because beech tree can hold way more underground water than a spruce. And forests like this one supply about 70% of the drinking water to Munich

Canada's postal strike - Bigger context
I don't know how many people outside Canada, but Canadians certainly know, that for several weeks we've had a postal strike that of course severely impacts businesses and customers in the lead up to Christmas. There is a short Wikipedia article. Usual issues of wages not keeping up with inflation and benefits - what, they don't already have paid breaks? #canadapoststrike
What people may not have heard of is how since several years the postal union has been advancing innovative ideas for how the postal service could be more sustainable and useful to the community in multiple ways going forward into the future. Seems to fall on deaf ears in management whose forward looking focus seems to be expanding hours of parcel delivery by hiring more part-time rather than full-time workers.

They really need a whole new business model, because the current one is just failing badly.
I am not a fan of Maxime Bernier, but he has a policy of privatizing Canada Post. That may be the only way to save it, but I always ask "who would buy it?" I can;t think of anyone other than CUPW. I mean UPS or FedEX might, but only to shut it down.

in reply to Tio • •Yes, sure if you want to deal with Peertube it's ok.
For some reasons it doesn't like my standard format, and I need to reformat it specially for Peertube, and no one watches the videos there except you, so it's a bit too much effort. But if you want to do it, then of course.
