So how many of you get mail on Saturday? If not what about stopping USPS delivery on Saturdays?

[The Duke]

delivering 50% less?.....every year more and more addresses are added on to delivery routes or new routes are created to handle the new addresses.......and most routes every address gets something....so how is that delivering 50% less?...

Pfft..USPS is not what it used to be.

 

[Harry Dresden]

I must have missed the context.

he didnt mention when....

 

[Harry Dresden]

Pfft..USPS is not what it used to be.

how many companies are like they used to be?....

 

[MarathonMike]

you would be surprised how many places do require it....

I'm sure there are, but why? I have never understood the urgency for regular mail to be delivered daily.

 

[healthmyths]

Yup, I'm very fiscally responsible, I just despise the lying con man named trump.

I have a hard time believing that YOU believe his LIES.
C'mon, he LIES constantly.

1). I will replace Obamacare on Day 1.

So you obviously don't believe Obama "LIED" especially when he said Obama's lie has been totally exposed:
"We are not a nation that accepts nearly 46 million uninsured men, women and children," President Obama told doctors in a speech before the American Medical Association in Chicago in June.

FACTS were:
11 million are illegals and
14 million were eligible for Medicaid..
So that left 21 million truly "uninsured" BUT WAIT...
What about the military?
11,616,150 military personnel were insured!

In 2021, 3.5 percent of all people in the United States were covered through military health care (including TRICARE, VA or CHAMPVA). This statistic shows the percentage of U.S. Americans insured by military health care from 1990 to 2021.

In 2023, some 3.6 percent of all people in the United States were covered through military health care (including TRICARE, VA or CHAMPVA).

Hmmm... The estimated population of the U.S. was approximately 331.89 million in 2021,
so 3.5% is 11,616,150 insured!

So "46 million uninsured men, women, and children" is a lie by Obama and actually less than 10 million!
nearly 80% fewer than Obama's lie..
"We are not a nation that accepts nearly 46 million uninsured men, women and children"
Even Obamacare's chief Architect agrees Obama's statement was a lie!

ACA Architect: 'The Stupidity Of The American Voter' Led Us To Hide Obamacare's True Costs From The Public​

"it took the stupidity of the American voter'..
MIT economist Jonathan Gruber. The guy dubbed the “Obamacare architect” is a viral YouTube sensation. A few months back, he was caught on tape admitting that Obamacare doesn’t provide subsidies for federally-run insurance exchanges; it's now the topic of a new case before the Supreme Court. Today, new video surfaced in which Gruber said that “the stupidity of the American voter” made it important for him and Democrats to hide Obamacare’s true costs from the public. “That was really, really critical for the thing to pass,” said Gruber. “But I’d rather have this law than not.” In other words, the ends—imposing Obamacare upon the public—justified the means.

They stopped Saturday mail decades ago.

All they delivered on Saturdays was over night parcels and large packages.

Then stuff backed up. So they started doing every other Saturday for those who wanted overtime.

Stuff still backed up.

They ended up paying more in weekly overtime, than just rotating the schedules to include Saturdays.

So now, more often than not, it's just the metro areas that have Saturday mail.


The End.

When did you have this dream?

 

[Dr.Destructo]

When did you have this dream?

This is how it was explained to me, by a USPS postal employee.

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

I'm in very rural Kentucky. We have Saturday mail.

I think he is doing drugs.

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

This is how it was explained to me, by a USPS postal employee.

They lied, dumbass. I have lived in rural areas up until 2 years ago and always had Saturday mail for the prior 15 years.

Right now, I live in the city and Saturday is the only time my mail arrives before about 5-7pm.

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

Get rid of the USPS. Its just junk mail.

No. That is how I get all of my communications from the VA and most of my medications come that way.

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

this has been argued about for years now....mail constantly moves forward and stops at the carriers route....if that mail builds up for 2 days at the route every Monday would be a 10-11 hour day and Tuesday and Wednesday would generate OT catching up.....so much for that so called 300 million....Christmas and election time would be a nightmare....

In the summer, my mail has arrived as late as 9pm.

 

[toobfreak]

According to recent USPS data, the Postal Service spends approximately $5.8 million per day on salaries and benefits for mail delivery, which represents the average daily cost associated with delivering mail. Stop delivery on Saturdays would save over $300 million. Why not? I don't need it on Saturday!

I have a better idea: stop all junk mail. I don't need people stuffing my mailbox 6 days a week with 99% unsolicited solicitations designed to look official and important.

 

[aaronleland]

Why is this even a discussion? With all the government waste we're debating what convenience we can deprive ourselves of? People do expect mail on Saturady. Bills don't take the weekend off.

 

[Jarlaxle]

delivering 50% less?.....every year more and more addresses are added on to delivery routes or new routes are created to handle the new addresses.......and most routes every address gets something....so how is that delivering 50% less?...

First-class mail volume is down-I recall WAY down.

No. That is how I get all of my communications from the VA and most of my medications come that way.

How often is there a "communication" so urgent that it cannot wait until Monday? Be honest.

Junk mail is a profit-maker for the USPS.

Bills? In the...mail? Do you live in 1996?

 

[pknopp]

much of that is because of Amazon....

It is, let's start there.

LOL....When my mom passed last February, I had her mail forwarded to my address, the PO said it would end in a year unless I extended it. I'll be glad when that is over.....Jeez, she must have donated to every vet .org there is.

I sold her house some months back and drove by it the other day to see if anyone had moved in (no) and the mail box was crammed full of what looked like junk mail. I didn't bother to check and see what it was. Must have been "current resident" stuff.

You could have missed 5 lien on the house notices.
