re: Usps signs agreement withb DOGE, cuts 10,000 workers

They can start by firing every single employee at the Birmingham sorting plant. That place is an absolute black hole. Very often, it takes longer for a package to get from BHM to me than it takes to get from California to the BHM sorting plant.

Make the USPS private.

I bet Amazon or UPS could to a better job for less on first class mail. I can order something online today from an Atlanta warehouse and I'll be at my door tomorrow in Huntsville via UPS.

Junk mail keeps the USPS afloat.

USPS should charge rates on par with the private sector. If a first class stamps needs to cost 2 dollars, so be it.

That way they stop subsidizing Amazon, Temu, and other mail order retailers who game the system.

Also, end practices like media mail and bulk mail discounts.


One other thing is to end the contract on that fugly new mail truck that looks like a duck. Why not just purchase vehicles already on the market and use those instead of relying on a specialized vehicle with a limited parts base and trained mechanics.

None of this shite is going to matter until they cut defense, medicare/medicaid, or social security. We set a record for federal spending last month.

Yeah, that’s never going to win you an election.

With everyone doing their bills on-line we probably only need 25% of the mail carriers.

Except all the junk mail, I checked my PO Box Tuesday and had 25 flyers from insurance, refi, Kroger, blah blah blah.

We need to end junk mail and save the billions delivering it and billions to process the trash it produces.

In a rural setting i pick up Amazon “deliveries” at the PO…. So we still need the PO…
