us Postal Service, what we know so far

Let me say this, I'm not necessarily interested in the politics.

My issue is that this has severely harmed the mail orders I get from merchants. I understand that Trump has doubts about the Post Office, but these decisions have long term consequences that go beyond the election.

Hampering the post office hurts some Businesses as it's the cheapest option they have to deliver mail. It also serves as a major inconvenience to their customers.

The post office isn't supposed to be the political arm of anyone. It's simply supposed to deliver mail. Everyone is going to have a political opinion, but that doesn't imply that any one department should have more influence than another.

Then you should happily condemn the Post Office Union endorsing Joe & the Ho; and be concerned about whether mass ballots are a good idea when nobody is around to police or determine whether they are actually delivered and returned from Red Zip Codes.

Post office is a shitshow and has been for over a decade (well before Trump even announced his candidacy).

It has completely shite the bed with Covid.

The post office should have been privatized years ago. The USPS sucks to high heaven.

The post office is a necessity but they need to increase costs or reevaluate their deal with Amazon.

Now that it's in the news you're seeing the employees now have an incentive to perform poorly, nothing has changed other than orange man bad.

Vote by mail the way Democrat's want will have consequences far beyond anything the USPS brings.

People have an “ends justify the means” position on this. They know it’s wrong but believe we’ll be better off for it. They won’t exactly say that, but I will. If it helps prevent mail in voting widespread on the rush, we’ll be better off long term.

Riddle me this Batman, why is every other delivery option making bank and hiring right now but USPS is a victim of Covid-19.

Hard to take anything else they offer in that link seriously once you get to that nonsense.

Your own USA Today (lolzzzz) article says the post office received a $10B loan from Treasury on July 29th... if those frickers need MORE than $10B to operate for the next 4 months, then it needs to be shut down.

My postmaster said this shakeup should have been done a long time ago. Lots of Gubmint' incompetence and other types of SJW misfits employed
