It is getting so bad in Jackson MS that a US Senator is getting involved... Not that I expect he will make it any better. I won't be using USPS.
USPS....
- Thread starter TeddyKGB
- Start date
Local councilman supposedly looked into our probs. Never heard a word.
Probably because he doesn't have the power he thought he might have!
The usps is being ran by a trump appointed director. He was appointed during trumps first reign. Naturally he was put there to destroy our postal Service. The non union fedex is just about as bad
.ups does a good bit better. They are union.
Once they retired so many employees early, hired on temps and part timers to avoid costs, service went to hell in a hand basket.
The postal service has lost money ($billions) for years. Time for reform, refocus, or extinction. The last time, and I mean the LAST time I used them, I was charged $35.00 in priority charges, for a package weighing less than 4lbs. It took this band of merry incompetents, 8 days to deliver a package to a destination that was literally 2 hours and 9 minutes away from where it was dropped off...And don't even get me started on their "tracking" numbers.
Never again.
The reason they have lost money for years is republican lawmakers forcing the overfunding of employee retirement plans for one thing. The problems as of late with delivery is mismanagement by design by a man appointed as director by Donald Trump.

You've got the idea
Supply has long since gone obsolete. Now they just demand. If you think that's just humor, consider the drug trade.
There's no good laughley for this. lol...

This isn't about politics. This is about a model that isn't working. Take the TDS to NPR.

This is what you voted for, incompetence and grift. The USPS is only the beginning. Enjoy.
They were doing perfectly fine until Congress mandated that they prefund retiree health care benefits 75 years into the future. So they're currently saving money for a retiree who hasn't been born yet.
USPS issues go WAAAAY beyond/before DT. Your TDS has fogged your brain.

That was removed in 2022, which a simple google search will tell you. But people are too lazy to research anything now, they just swallow what Fox News or their facebook feed shoves at them.

It's called the Postal *Service* for a reason. It serves the country and is not intended to turn a profit (which no government service should).The postal service has lost money ($billions) for years.

USPS cost $10B in 2024 of a total Federal spend of $6.75T. That's .0015%.
If you're looking to save Federal $$$, check the couch cushions first.
My mistake. I actually did a search to double-check what I was saying but didn't see that it had been repealed.

Welcome to my ignore list
Maybe they should refocus on the "service" part.

So we should invest more in it.
USPS is the ONLY delivery service in many parts of the country, so damaging it hurts a lot of people (especially in rural areas). The quality of service does seem to depend on where you are located and how you're using it: for me it's fantastic and I prefer to everything except UPS. I know for some it's shotty, but nothing targeted budget can't fix.
