![]() ![]() The administration has also been motivated by the president’s animus toward Amazon, a major Postal Service customer, and a desire to impede voting by mail. Privatization is a long-standing goal of conservative think tanks and corporations that stand to gain from weakening or dismantling the Postal Service. President Trump’s push to privatize the Postal Service and his party’s antipathy toward government partly explain Republicans’ reluctance to provide the same pandemic relief to the Postal Service as it has to airlines and other private companies facing a similar collapse in demand. The Postal Service’s financial woes, exacerbated by the pandemic, are due to a confluence of factors: a mail monopoly that is declining in value with the rise of electronic communication a public service mandate to deliver to every address in the country six days a week caps on postal rates, borrowing limits, and other restrictions that limit its ability to raise revenue and make necessary investments and an onerous requirement to rapidly prefund retiree benefits, among other factors. However, this advantage is shrinking as the Postal Service increasingly relies on noncareer employees who receive meager benefits, and there is pressure to cut benefits for career employees as well. This is typical for unionized workers, workers employed by large employers, and public-sector workers without bachelor’s degrees. Postal workers are better compensated than many other workers with similar education, years of experience, and hours worked. The postal service connects family and friends, fosters democracy, and is a key part of our emergency and national security infrastructure.Ĭareer jobs in the Postal Service are good jobs for workers without bachelor’s degrees. It has operated without interruption during the COVID-19 pandemic and other national catastrophes. It connects family and friends, fosters democracy, and is a key part of our emergency and national security infrastructure. The social value of the Postal Service extends beyond the economic benefits provided by its delivery operations. Like transportation and communications networks that are often publicly owned or function as regulated utilities, a national service with standardized pricing promotes commerce and guards against the concentration of economic power. To take advantage of network economies, the United States and other countries shield their postal services from competition in exchange for delivering mail to far-flung and poorer regions. The Postal Service is many things-among them, a public service part of the nation’s critical infrastructure a regulated monopoly a good employer, especially for Black workers and military veterans and a government enterprise competing with and supplying services to private companies. What needs to be done: The Biden administration and Congress must act to undo the damage and allow the Postal Service to adapt to meet unmet needs, including the revival of postal banking.Ĭorrected version, February 2, 2021. The Trump administration revived these efforts, spurred by the president’s opposition to mail voting and his animus toward Amazon, a major customer. ![]() Anti-government ideologues and special interests have long sought to privatize, shrink, or hobble the Postal Service. But the conflicting demands made upon it by Congress and regulators put it in a precarious financial position even before the pandemic.

![]() ![]() In today’s fulfillment centers, the process of picking, handling, and packing individual products into customer boxes is still performed manually. Our next-gen robotics technology will allow retailers and grocers of all sizes to have the fastest and most affordable fulfillment,” said Simon Kalouche, Nimble’s founder and CEO. We’ve assembled an all-star team of engineers to build the future of autonomous on-demand fulfillment to solve this problem. “There is no fulfillment solution that can handle double the orders, fulfill them in half the time, with half the staff, for half the cost. With a declining available labor pool and sky-rocketing eCommerce sales there is a shortage of over half a million warehouse workers. Finding reliable warehouse labor now ranks among the highest pain points for retailers as they attempt to maintain business continuity and simultaneously scale their fulfillment operations. Today, Nimble robots are deployed in fulfillment centers across the United States picking over 100,000 items per day for customers including several Fortune 500 retailers.Ĭatalyzed by the Covid-19 pandemic, eCommerce doubled in 2020, accelerating nearly 10 years of growth in the span of just a few months, according to McKinsey & Co. Nimble’s fleet of AI-powered robots intelligently pick, pack, and handle millions of products, spanning from apparel and electronics to beauty, general merchandise and grocery items. Nimble’s mission is to democratize affordable, on-demand fulfillment for every ecommerce retailer.

The views of both Braswell and Bowman are well represented through the themes in “The Cider House Rules”. One of the recurring viewpoints in this paper is that “in bioethical issues, as in any issue in our society, our division of knowledge into neat, seemingly historical disciplines imperils our ability to intervene in the problems that we confront” (Braswell 20). In addition, the author questions the necessity of bioethics in the context of the modern society. According to the author, the perspective of bioethics will have transformed within the next forty years. ![]() Another article by Harold Braswell investigates the issue of bioethics through a ‘wide-angle lens’. Bowman continues to investigate the issue of morality using various contexts including culture and individuality. In the twentieth century, medicine was understood to be an independent field that did not depend on politics, religion, morality, or economics. The author of this article notes that the current structure of bioethics comes from the exclusive manner in which the twentieth century Western society considered medicine. This article mainly “explores the capacity of Western bioethics to adapt the realities of increasingly culturally pluralistic societies such as those of North America” (Bowman 664). Bowman’s article notes that most bioethical aspects are unacceptable to people from non-Western cultures. Bioethics thrives most where various aspects of life such as philosophy and biomedical elements interact. Therefore, the moral values that are associated with religion and other social orders have no place in modern bioethics. Larch had falsified several details concerning his life thereby raising some bioethical issues.Īccording to Bowman, modern bioethics is based on the concept of allowing various cultural and moral orders to co-exist. Homer’s views on morality are contradicted by issues of abortion, rape, and unfaithfulness when he encounters them as a farm labourer. Homer later discovers that he cannot escape the issues of morality and ethics when he encounters them at the orchard. Nevertheless, with time Homer tries to walk away from the ethical dilemmas that surround the issue of abortion when he decides to leave with Candy and Wally. Homer begins his informal training as an abortionist even though he has never received any secondary school education. ![]() In the orphanage, Homer is popular with both the institution’s administrator and the other orphans who live in the institution. In the movie, Homer is an orphan who faces rejection twice in different foster homes. On the other hand, Homer is not schooled and educated on the morality of abortion but he does not embrace the practice. Larch is a self-proclaimed abortionist although he conducts most of his activities in secret. The characters in “The Cider House Rules” pursue the issue of abortion in different ways. First, the movie brings into question the issues of pro-choice and pro-life when it comes to the ethics of abortion. The issues of abortion, morality, rape, and human body are adequately represented in “The Cider House Rules”. In this paper, I shall argue that the themes and aspects of “The Cider House Rules” can be used to propagate the concepts of bioethics as outlined in both Braswell and Bowman’s articles. In the movie “The Cider House Rules”, the filmmaker provides the audience with bioethical reflections. ![]() The two authors have different viewpoints about the nature of bioethics in the modern society. On the other hand, Harold Braswell proposes the re-examination of bioethics by putting them in the context of a modern society. Bowman notes that ‘principlism’ is the main idea in modern bioethics.
