Another taxpayer-funded black hole. Time to put the postal service out of its misery. Or turn it over to a private company.
..after years of bloated government buck passing and waste, efficient competition in the private sector wins every time.
I still have a mail person who can’t, or will not read, maybe just lazy,....... I get the wrong mail mixed in with mine.
Well, all of you anti USPS folks really don’t understand the issue and that is too bad. I still believe the USPS is the best bang for the buck anywhere, especially since congress has tied their hands and will not let them run as a commercial enterprise. You will get your way I suspect, but you will regret it.
Who sends mail anymore?
About the only thing that needs delivering are packages. I know some people send letters, but it’s definitely a fraction of a fraction of what used to be sent.
The USPS is an anachronism and union make-work organization. Cut off their Federal loans, revoke their monopoly on First Class mail, and let the market decide whether they live or die.
“...the post office has paid in $330bn for benefits, but the Office of Personnel Management recently told Williams that it will need $394bn to satisfy the legal requirement. “
The Postal Employees Retirement funds are sitting in that slightly smaller lock box, right next to that Social Security lock box that ensures every American’s comfortable old age happily ever-after.
If they fire my incredibly stupid carrier, I’ll send them a $20!
how can a company allow itself to lose $16 billion in a year?....
they should have knocked off one day delivery, or went to more part timers, or raised their prices or gee, maybe just cut the salaries and pensions???
time to let it die
Buy a bunch of Forever stamps before the prices rise on Jan 27.
usps can’t make it now, even when much of their long-haul mail delivery between hubs, is already handled by ups and fedex.
I am so sick of my money paying for huge pensions. Make them worry about retirement like the rest of us.
