My 5 point solution to the dinosaur Post Office troubles.

The dinosaur answers coming from the postmaster are no surprise. They lack intelligence, reason and creativity and fail to address the main issues. He wants to cut service greatly while increasing the price of a stamp. What a idiot. Here's what he should do:

1.) Charge the ever-living PISS out of bulk mailers, instead of giving them dirt-cheap rates. Mr. Postmaster, this shit is SPAM and floods your system with garbage daily, costs you billions to process. Either end the SPAM altogether or charge out the ass for it.

2.) LOWER your stamp rates, not raise them! Make "snail mail" somewhat more attractive than it is now.

3.) Offer EMAIL. Yes, that's right, EMAIL. For a small fee, folks can get themselves an official "uspost.us" email account. Hell, make that site a facebook-like deal. Get into the internet, embrace it, learn it, love it. Think about 20 million or so folks paying you $10 a year for your internet services. (That's $200 million a year there, sir. A conservative estimate of what you could generate here.) Shit, we have people DONATING even, to this message board. Why are you leaving this incredible source of income untapped?

4.) Get your cost per pound processed DOWN, by cutting waste and trimming the fat. Again, greatly reducing the SPAM you sludge out daily will help greatly with this, reducing fuel costs, labor, ALL of your bigger costs. Figure out ways to save on utilities, fuel, parts and repairs -- stop accepting the dogma that the government pays more for everything. You're not a government entity anymore, you're a for-profit enterprise that is regulated by the government. Get competitive.

5.) Fix your tarnished public image and perception. Again here -- people HATE junk mail! Get yourself a snappy ad campaign aimed at winning back hearts and minds, instead of your stupid current shit about flat-rate bulk shipping. Combine the bulk shipping info with your new campaign, get more advertising bang for the buck.

How about it? Sound like anything that has worked for others?

Blithering idiot.

I love the way you're thinking outside of the usual USPS box. That's exactly what they need to do. Their model is outdated and no amount of 'rigging' is going to fix it. What you've described is a new model for their services. Good job. If you don't mind, I'd like to send your post to the Postmaster in an email.

The definition of insanity comes to mind -- doing the exact same thing over and over, but each time expecting different results. They need to re-think their whole deal, this is the 21st Century.

By all means, spread this wealth around, liberally.
 
the actual problem is that Management WASTES money.....LOTS OF IT.....since they are not accountable for it like a CEO is, no one does anything about it....if the PMG and his District Managers had to answer to a board of Directors and account for the money.....things would be different.....heads dont roll in Postal Management when you fuck up....


80% of USPS costs are labor, largely unionized. Yes, that's a waste, but as it currently stands, management's hands are tied to prevent them from doing anything about it.
 
4.) Get your cost per pound processed DOWN, by cutting waste and trimming the fat.

Where's the fat?
They pay out the ass for vehicles, aircraft, parts and repairs for same, and for everything else they purchase. Instead of using their purchasing power wisely, they continue with the old government approach of, everything's got to be ridiculously expensive.

Anecdotal. I have many times been on the seller side of transactions with USPS. Always loved it, never any fear of being out bid. We charged 50, 60% more for the same shit we provided to private industry, and they were giddy over the deal, each and every time.

Same way with VA hospitals, and every other government-related sow we dealt with.

The $1,500 toilet isn't a myth.

Hey, are you a radio talk show host or something? I heard nearly the exact same suggestions on a radio show last night

Wow that is brillant, I will open an email account for a fee when there are dozen of others where I can do it for free. Guarantee your email idea would be subpar to even hotmail and would end up being a red mark on the post office's books!
Are you stupid? You actually believe millions of folks won't pony-up ten bucks a year to have a OFFICIAL USPS email account and facebook-type page, and all kinds of goodies herein?

People pay 10 bucks and more for memberships to forum boards such as this one and many others, and don't even get an official email account!

Wake the fuck up.

I sent it to him and I cleaned up the more 'colorful' language... I'll let you know if I hear anything back.

Your 5 points would be the last nail in the coffin of the post office.
Unless you have a better solution for delivery of mail from private sources, the post office is it.
Bulk mailing.... is the bread and butter of the post office. You raise prices on it, they won't pay it, they will go pay a high school kid to deliver it door to door. I've seen it done.
Stamp prices....as Harry Dresden stated, it's the cheapest in the world. Try using UPS to deliver a letter.....they have different prices depending on the location.
Email...... is a dead horse, no one will pay for that, and that's including me. I would put the uspost.gov on my spam filter, as would most.
Cost per pound..... the post office has already given a way a good share of parcels to the private sector.
Image.....Any business can improve on image in one fashion or another....but it is the post office, and part of the government. There are a lot of people that like the bulk mailings, and complain when they don't get it. It sounds more personal with you MM, but really in the over all scheme of life, that's just small potatoes.

Side note......when you move from one address to another address, does UPS, or FedEx forward the parcel, or letter at no charge....or at all?

I worked for the post office for 30 years and your saying erroneous???
I think I may know more about the innerworkings of the post office more than you do.
By all means assume what you like, but I might assume you really don't know what your talking about.

Your points about reliability, services and bulk mail being staples of the USPS aren't erroneous.

The rest of your rant however, was.

Stop and think: They have tried and tried and tried again the exact same shit the Postmaster is again asking for, and its never worked. It's time for some creative thinking.

Maybe even, trying some stuff that's never been tried?

You DO recognize this is the 21st Century, correct?
 
OK, I see a lot here about privatization of the Post Office.

The Post Office is already private, but is regulated by the Government, with very good reason.

If you were to take away Government regulation of the Post Office, several things would occur:

1. The price of stamps would rapidly increase until it settled somewhere around $1.50. This is about what a private corporation like FedEx would charge for such a service.

2. The mail would no longer be protected by federal law, creating a HUGE window for serious misuse.

And, most importantly:

3. Article 1, Section 8 of the Constitution requires the government to create Post Offices and "Post Roads", thus any such Corporation would be free, by law, to force the Government to build all their resources for them, siphoning public funds into the corporation's coffers with no oversight.
Changing this would require a Constitutional amendment.

Your solutions aren't the fix, MM. What yours would do IS kill the post office.
Yes this is the 21st century, but we still need the post office....I'm not a big fan of it, and yea, I did work for it for 30 years. I know where the waste is in the post office, and it's in mid to upper level management. There is where the savings would come from.

Think about the fix. Then look at what hasn't been tried repeatedly.

Earlier you said no one would use USPS electronic mail? Come now.

And it wasn't a .gov I was suggesting. I get the feeling you really didn't read what I had to say.

I read what you posted...I just used .gov, isn't that just symantics?
People aren't going to pay for the service, MM. Why would people want it if they needed to pay for it? There are a ton of free sites on the internet right now that would suffice. That won't be a money maker for them.
I doubt any established business would do what you suggested......the gamble is to huge.
That still wouldn't address the waste in the post office.
