Politicizing The USPS

[togor]

Secret meetings between some board members and Mnuchin, part of Trump's plan to politicize and privatize the Post Office. If he wins, Social Security and Medicare are next. None of these are good for the base, but they're so thoroughly brainwashed that it doesn't matter.

Says the guy who scours the net daily for bad news on the streets.

Your choices are:

1. win or lose clean elections

2. win a dirty election then try to hang on for dear life.

3. Lose a dirty election and wait for the retribution.

I choose #1. How you react to tampering to the USPS decides your choice.

Maybe it is time that the Post Office as we know it to change. I read a very good article from a member of the rank and file that said part of the problem is work rule changes. In the past he said you stayed out until your route was done. Now they have eight hour day to get the route down or the mail is held over until the next day. This concept is ripe for abuse. Maybe some mail people have milked their routes to ensure they get overtime. Maybe the amount of people assigned to a route isn't enough to get the load delivered daily or maybe a bit of both. I know I could do with out the Post Office.

Again, "out for delivery" should mean that a letter, or package gets delivered. Bravo for you I guess that you don't care about the post office, I guess. I know I've sent or received a lot of USPS money orders and priority mail packages over the years related to guns.
