'We should absolutely honor essential workers, but not with military jets or by calling them heroes while paying them criminally low wages.' Samantha Bee (iamsambee) responded to Trump's plans to honor essential workers by performing air shows with jets
"The postal service is hot as hell. The workers wear knee shorts, they give it to us in the rain, sleet or snow and they're the only federal agency built entirely on the principle of licking stuff," Bee joked during Wednesday's episode of 'Full Frontal.'viewers to support the postal service during Wednesday's episode of the TBS late night show.
The postal service currently lacks financial assistance from the government, and it's estimated that the organization will be out of money by September. While House Democrats asked for $25 billion in funding during the stimulus talks, the Trump administration turned the proposal down. The host said that Republicans resist mail-in voting because "they're afraid it will help Democrats, but there's no evidence to confirm that." She added, "Mail-in voting helps everyone. Old people, young people. Late night TV people who would have liked to be invited to Zoom with Lady Gaga, but are fine that didn't happen."
The host added that the service doesn't cost taxpayers anything because it's directly funded by the sales of its products and services. "That's why it's always coming out with new stamps like the hip-hop commemorative series," she said. "Which is fitting because the post office was kind of a hip-hop pioneer." A clip followed of a post office ad from 1967, which featured a man rapping about its services.
