and somehow forgot to add that in the OP? or subsequent posts

if you say so. i am just glad learning has occurred. and now we know that a good thread does not require any supporting documents, link, facts. its good to know

Can I prove that the unfounded assertion isn’t happening? Proof of a negative?

:man_facepalming:

cool, so its not going to cost 200 a ballot. the OP had his question answered.

This is actually interesting. Here, and I assume it’s the same everywhere, chicks are not delivered for this very reason. They have to be picked up.

It will be interesting to find out what really happened.

And bookmarked

the story i read talked to a Maine farmer that they have done it this way for decades with no problem but just recently it occurred and picking em up is cost prohibitive in this Covid environment. let me see if can find it.

I love that and “NOTED!!!”

I have yet to see that determined one way or the other. Just unsupported assumptions so far

LOL…simple question. Didn’t realize it was that difficult for em to answer.

Irony of it she brought them out from Aug recess…when there are bigger financial worries at stake.

LOL sounds like threat. :crazy_face:

good question. but at least we answered the 200$ ballot question

Because of COVID. Done it which way? My post office is very clear they have to be picked up and they are not liable.

I don’t think you have, given she said it as part of her conference.

Except that it isn’t. Don’t you?

It was how my mind worked when she said to make sure ballots gets delivered in timely fashion Within second after he made that claim 200 dollar figured popped up.

So I’m asking you all why does she need 200 dollars per ballot.

Yeah, I was kidding. I actually do understand that it would be an exercise in futility to apply the reasoning elsewhere

No they’re not…who told you this?

there ya go

Henderson said an earlier shipment of chicks she received had 150 dead chicks out of 800. These problems prompted her and her husband to stop ordering chicks through the mail and instead send one of their four full-time employees to pick the birds up by car – at a cost of about $700 for the round trip to South Fork, Pennsylvania.

The practice was cost-prohibitive, Henderson said, because of the travel expenses as well as the two days of lost labor.

The worker risked exposure to COVID-19 by traveling in parts of the country with higher infection rates than Maine before returning to New Sharon, where they could be exposing their families or other co-workers to the virus, Henderson said. So they decided to go back to using the mail. That’s when they received the 800 dead chicks.

i take the farmers word that it cost prohibitive, she knows more then i do on the subject.
