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

they will not let them make a profit...this is one of the reasons many PMG's from the private sectors have quit after only a few years,,,,

In order to make a profit they have to raise prices and cut expenses. Congress won't let them do either.

Which is why it needs to be removed from their control and sold to a private carrier. Or better yet just allow letter delivery to be done by anyone.

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!

Yes, all rural carriers here. They all use their own vehicles, too. I presume the USPS gives them a mileage allowance.

its all included in the price they agreed on to deliver the mail on a route....

You live south of Naples? I lived there for a decade and it was never light out at 930 pm.

You are fairly east in the eastern Time Zone. I live MUCH further north and west. I lived on the westernmost county in the eastern Time Zone. The next county where I worked was Central time. Also, the county due south was Central. Your being south helps it get dark earlier too.

The days are longer further north in summer. Ever hear land of the midnight sun? I once visited Seattle and the sun rose in the summer about 4:45 am. That really sucked when my granddaughter wanted to play when she woke up and I had been in bed about 2 hours after picking up her Dad at work.

congress doesnt control the price of stamps the Postal Regulatory Commission has that power.....and every PMG has tried to cut expenses,,,,,

I get postal truck delivering Amazon packages on Sunday. Why don't we talk about that before cutting regular mail.

They are getting paid by Amazon to deliver.

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.

When did he say that? Congress tried and McCain torpedoed it with one vote. Why post that in this thread?

would you let anyone have access to your private mail receptacle?....

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

Did you skip the part where I mentioned medications? Sometimes I need new medications right away. I currently take about 20 pills per day.

This is indeed trump....right?

Then use a more reliable delivery method.

Or go to CVS.

people in marketing would disagree with you.....mail advertising is pretty effective according to them....

Most people are advertising on-line or via email. I used to get sale papers from Lowes and Home Depot in the mail and every week in the Sunday newspaper. Now I get emails.

UPS, FedEx, DHL, Amazon. They’d all be better at it. Doing something more efficiently than government isn’t even a challenge.

the funny part about that is that UPS and Fed-X are the PO's 2 biggest customers,,,,,

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

No reason USPS can't cut back to M-W-F delivery - for residential customers, anyway.

I need my medicines.

It's not easy to cut expenses with the union there. Even improved automation is attacked by the unions.

 

[Harry Dresden]

Can you write return to sender on all of the junk mail? I've never tried that myself but if enough people did it.....

it wont be returned unless it says to return it on the envelope.....

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

That's not really true. Every so often Congress has to vote billions of dollars worth monetary aid to keep the post office afloat.

When was the last time that was done? You do know the post office has to pay that back, right?

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

This is indeed trump....right?

Yeah, 8 years ago! You are still in the wrong thread!
