Brickbat: As Good as Cash

Nakedra Shannon, a former United States Postal Service employee in Charlotte, North Carolina, was sentenced to five years in prison after pleading guilty to conspiracy to commit financial institution fraud and to theft of government property. Prosecutors said Shannon and two accomplices stole $24 million in checks from the mail between April and July 2023 and sold the checks to others.

Why tf is this a brickbat? They all got what was coming to them.

Theft of government property. The ultimate crime.

When I was in the Navy in the 80's there were several people there who said that they were just there to get the Veteran's preference to be hired by the Federal Government. Their big thing was a "cushy" government job where they couldn't be fired. These guys were usually the screw ups. Guess what? Some of them got those jobs.

Peace Corps "volunteers" work the same scam, only with less Basic Training.

The CONSPIRACY charge made it Thoughtcrime, therefore actionable. Simply using a government monopoly to steal from people is what politicians pay the IRS to do all day every day.
