The “consolidation process” mentioned by Congressman Clyde (and by several others dealing with this matter) is evidently part of USPS’s 10-year plan, introduced in 2021, called “Delivering for America.” The Palmetto facility, which opened on February 24 of this year, consolidated Atlanta, Augusta, Macon, and Duluth–area processing and distribution centers.
Our Founding Fathers were very intent in giving powers to State and local. To have competition. You still have corruption, but it is distributed and more manageable.
When the centralized power of the Soviet Union went kaput the power was distributed back to the eager satellite countries. AND NOBODY WANT TO PUT THE CENTRALIZED POWER BACK TOGETHER AGAIN.
What will happen to our centralized corrupt govt?
Our Founding Fathers were very intent in giving powers to State and local. To have competition.
Except the Post Office, which is a power reserved for the Unites States Government by the Constitution.
I live SE of Reno.
WE have a perfectly good sorting facility in RENO-—
Reno has doubled in less than 10 years. Will not be stopping.
I live rural, but I pay my bills every month & send out the checks on SS day.
The USPS is talking about a NEW 40 MILLION “MODERN” Sorting center-——IN SACRAMENTO !!!!!!
Every piece of mail I send will be SENT TO SACRAMENTO ‘TO BE SORTED” & brought back to RENO area businesses.
APPARENTLY USPS did NO research about the condition of I-80 between Reno & Sacramento about 4 months of the year.
SNOW can block that highway for DAYS——and there is no other option.
So-—CLOSE down RENO-—TRUCK everything to SACTO-—and then truck it back.
HOW many days this will take is anybody’s guess-—but delayed mail-—INCLUDING MAIL IN BALLOTS-——will be a problem.
Late fees & dings on a person’s credit will result.
ALSO-—EVERY TIME another “handling’ happens-—problems can happen. Missing stuff too common right now.
ALSO——EMPLOYEES who currently work in RENO:
Are they supposed to MOVE to CALIF???
MUCH higher property costs
MUSH HIGHER Property TAXES
MUCH HIGHER COST OF LIVING in GENERAL
KIDS FORCED TO CHANGE SCHOOLS
HUSBANDS/WIVES—2 jobs in family—CHAOS!!!!!
THIS IS A CLASS A FUSTER CLUCK
USPS HAS LOST IT’S EVER-LOVING MIND.
