Excerpt:

The head of the economically struggling U.S. Postal Service states the agency needs to be permitted to alleviate the regards to prepayments into a retiree health care fund and do away with general mail delivery on Saturday. Patrick Donahoe informs "CBS This Morning" the agency isn't asking Congress for money. He states, "I think most people don't realize, we're 100 percent self-sufficient. We pay our own way." But the postal chief keeps in mind the agency is losing $ 15. 9 billion this year. Donahoe states the post office should refinance retirement health fund repayments to $ 1 billion a year instead of $ 5 billion. He states the Postal Service would continue package delivery on Saturday and keep post offices open. In this scenario, he states the agency could possibly be $ 8 billion in the black each year.

Key:

  • Aggregate Sentiment is meant to be an indicator of an individual's overall sentiment.
  • The Mean is meant to be an indicator of an individual's average comment sentiment.
  • The Standard Deviation, when there are enough quotes, will indicate an individual's consistency of sentiment (i.e. a Standard Deviation of 0 would mean they were very consistent in their sentiment and 1 would mean they were very inconsistent).

Note that quote stats are likely to be meaningless beyond the aggregate score due to the tiny sample size. However, they are always provided just in case you find something useful there.
