DeJoy Departs From USPS

[my2¢]

A few years before I was born the post office would deliver mail to homes twice a day. Bleeding money USPS wanted to drop Saturday delivery 13 years ago but had to back off because Congress wouldn't allow it. That would have been fine with me. Heck, if it was up to me deliveries would be cut back to 3 days a week. With some routes on a Mon-Wed-Fri schedule and others on Tue-Thu-Sat.

I'm aware enough to know that the delivery routes are the final segment of that flow. Your point is comparable to contending that turning off the water tap screws up the entire plumbing system.

you dont understand how the mail flows in the post office...because of time constraints,like delivery time dated mail, and congressional law the mail just doesnt stop when the day crew punches out....the mail overnight keeps moving forward and stops at the delivery routes....you dont deliver one day and the next day you have 2 days worth of mail there.....sun,mon,off now you have 3 days worth of mail...lots of OT to catch up just to be put behind again the next week....

You don't understand that the flow also was also continuous, while operating with far less technology, way back when USPS made the switch from two deliveries per day down to one.

lol....the mail volume back then was nothing compared to what came in the following years....you have no idea what you are talking about.... the volume tripled, there is no way you can do 2 deliveries anymore...1962 ... 35 billion pieces,,,,it peaked in 2000 at 103 billion....
