    If the Postal "Service" goes away, how am I supposed to get the 15 lbs of junk mail I get every week?

    "Close'em down, except the one near me" That's the problem.

    He said "we're working on it". That means he's doing absolutely nothing.

    "I don't feel any sort of moral compulsion" ALL politicians and bureaucrats summarized in one quote!

    Congress in general cares less about financial responsibility and more about maintaining their position in congress.
  • I worked for the post office for 36 years and I’ve seen the waste. What the public doesn’t know is there’s a lot of people in the post office they get paid large amounts of money and never touch a letter or a magazine. They’re called supervisors and there’s way too many of them. They spent so many millions and millions of dollars on scanners just so they can keep track of the letter carriers.The letter carriers are the back bone of the post office.
  • Without "universal" mail service, how do you make sure that all homeowners are notified about property taxes?

    Postal Service is not a business. It is ... wait for it ... a service. And, all Americans deserve to be connected by this vital communication link.

    Interesting to have this in the feed at a time like this. Orange man bad, how?

    This board chairman really nails it in the first part of the interview: “congress expects us to act like a business but doesn’t give us the flexibility to do so.” That’s the one model that hasn’t been tried: appoint a CEO (someone with non-competing interests), tell them what the goals have to be, then leave them alone and don’t micromanage every decision. If the CEO isn’t doing a good job, fire them and get a new one.

    And it's all Trumps fault. He reached back in time to make it so.

    The tech people and the comedians were all making jokes once about "snail mail" Now they all weep when there should be changes in the postal service.

    Someone show this to joe rogan, he claims the Post office is a prime example of government superiority over private business

    My best friend works for USPS circulation center and tells me that no employee is worried about getting fired so many will take naps on the job and not show up for work quite frequently. But this is the issue with any bureaucracy. They're there for tenure, not to serve the clientele. No professionalism or sense of competition. What a waste of government $$$

    Hmmm, I wonder why YouTube is recommending that to me now?

    My neighbor moved away, but kept ownership of his old house. He notified the USPS to forward his mail and NOT deliver mail to the old house. But they kept delivering mail to the old house even after I informed the postman twice that no one lives there. They stuffed the mailbox so full there was literary no empty space in the mailbox and you could not close the door/hatch. This was AFTER the mailbox post toppled over and the mailbox was lying on the ground, they kept stuffing it. Finally, I got tired of this BS and got permission from the owner to junk the mailbox and all. From my window I can see where the old mailbox once stood and months afterwards I would see the postman looking to find the mailbox to stuff more mail into a mailbox that was lying on the ground for a house with no one living in it. That's how ridiculous the USPS is. I've lived in 4 countries and traveled to another 4 and I can tell you the USPS is by far the absolute worst. In other countries like Japan their postal service is so reliable and efficient they even offer banking. You read that right; you can do all your banking at a Japanese postal office. Imagine trying that at a USPS.
