    Every month I have to rebuy a 5$ phone cable that I use to listen to music in my truck. It's from China. If this motor is like that, I'll pass.

    You need a different supplier. I buy cords and cables ten at a time off eBay. With the number of devices four kids, a wife and myself have it is much cheaper than retail. We are now into these usb-c to add to the mix.

    ...not true. It is true postal retirement is part of federal retirement system, managed by OPM. Their retirement falls under one of two plans, CSRS for pre '84 hires, and FERS post '84. Workers pay into their respective plans. Health benefits are separate from retirement. A '06 law changed USPS health insurance funding requirements from pay-as-you-go to pre-funded. As a result, USPS owes about $6B per year to RHBF fund, which is used to pay employer part of their health benefit plans, not plans for other federal retirees....

    ...also not true. First, RHBF isn't fully pre-funded, USPS has defaulted on fund payments since 2012. In their defense, majority of their financial liability is RHBF. Second, "75 years" and not "born yet" are wrong. Actuarially, USPS is required to fund to retiree life expectancy, about 54 years...

    Full disclosure: I am not a USPS employee/retiree, but I am a CSRS retiree.

    If those boat motors aren’t EPA certified, they might be better! I had a small engine guy tell me that the entry level lawn mower engines (B&S specifically) were turned into time bombs due to the way they had to be built, carbureted and run to meet emissions. Not sure if it was true, but my experience is ‘they don’t run like they used to’.

    lots of deals, just need to look at seller feed back and be aware, coming on the slow boat from china, literally, takes some time.

    Oh, and if you have a bunch of good cables but need to go to the usb=c
