Sun Herald readers weigh in on local and national topics.

USPS charge?

Is the postal service really going to be allowed to extort money from us as a fuel surcharge to deliver packages? How about I pick it up myself at the post office and charge them a fuel surcharge? This is insane.

No need

Article stating there were no ICE agents sent to Gulfport to help TSA must have been a joke. We have zero lines most of the time, so what a waste of printing space.

Parental responsibility

Now that YouTube and Meta have been found liable for causing harm to children, parents must own their contributions to the problem. If they inexplicably find it necessary to gift kids as young as five with a smartphone, they should prohibit its usage on social media or remove it. Unfortunately today it seems the norm is to always blame someone else.

Changing the focus

Now the media is focused on TSA not getting paid and ICE agents at airports. Meanwhile, the Epstein crimes go unanswered. Way to change the crisis.

Oil futures

Oil futures jumped just before President Trump announced a delay in bombing Iran’s oil infrastructure. Does anyone believe political players in the White House aren’t trading on inside information?

Unequal justice

Bill Cosby went to jail and now has to pay a $60 million fine. I’m not condoning his alleged rape of those women, but where is the justice for the children molested by Epstein’s clients?

Pay agents, not ICE

Does everyone see the painful irony in this? Lines are excruciatingly long at airports because Congress is not paying the airport agents. Consequently, many have quit and many others are taking extra days off to work other jobs where they are paid. So President Trump is sending ICE to help the airport agents. Why not just use the money it costs to pay, support, and transport ICE to pay the airport agents instead?
