It figures, NO surprise at all.

He wasn't doing it to help him win an election. Do GOPers have no shame?

The USPS , largely because of technology, has been a shrinking organization for decades. Sure, they have made some strategic errors and they are slow to change as a major bureaucracy.

But even under the best circumstances , the Post Office is in decline. The tremendous new Postmaster General is doing what he can to manage the decline and return the organization to fiscal sanity.

Letter mail is in decline, but their small package delivery is surging!!! Shipping for Internet sales is a huge opportunity.

 

[Care4all]

Under Obama, our post office reduced their hours....They close at 2pm, and 10am on Saturdays..... the post office here has owned their property for 100 years or longer!

I'm so glad it didn't close altogether!!!

The next closet post office is 7 miles from here, and in the winter snow months, that would be a real trek!!!

yes, but people don't shove parcels into mail boxes. And Obama's decision to pull the USPS out of Staples stores did hurt them in that segment of the business. It was a lot more convenient for customers to go to Staples as they could do other business as well while they were there.

The latest anti-Trump lie is that he has ordered the removal of mail boxes...to keep people from being able to mail their ballots for the election.....

This is a lie. But the democrat party knows that their democrat party members in the press, and their useful idiots everywhere else, including here on U.S.messageboard, will spread that lie 24/7.....after all, gaining power is the only thing that is important.....

Keep in mind.....the Postal Service has 100 billion dollars in unfunded pension liability, and another 69 billion in the hole on top of that and is losing billions every single year......

After Losing Nearly $4 Billion Last Year, Postal Service on Track to Lose $7 Billion This Year

Revenue and mail volume is basically flat, but the USPS' operating expenses are out of control.

So.....long before Trump came into office, the U.S. postal service was removing mail boxes....

But the fact is the removal of mail collection boxes has been going on for years as part of cost-cutting efforts for the postal service and had nothing to do with the 2020 election.

In September 2016, the USPS inspector general noted that “Nationally, the number of collection boxes declined by more than 12,000 in the past 5 years.”

This means that the USPS, during the Obama-Biden administration, removed thousands of mail collection boxes. Was this a diabolical plan by Obama and Biden to suppress the vote in 2020? Did Trump make them do it?


The decision to do so was explained thusly:

Some customers have complained the U.S. Postal Service has gone too far and removed too many collection boxes in neighborhoods. They’ve also questioned whether this effort is saving USPS money in the long run.
It’s a tough balancing act for the Postal Service. Some collection boxes are barely used and are expensive to maintain. On the other hand, mail collection boxes are a visible representation of the Postal Service to the American public, and their disappearance has been noted. They also are reliable, secure, and convenient receptacles for mail.
As part of its efforts to keep its collection infrastructure proportionate to customers’ needs at a reasonable cost, the Postal Service has eliminated underused collection boxes that on average receive fewer than 25 pieces a day; it has also added collection boxes where they are convenient for customers.

USPS spokeswoman Kimberly Frum told The Hill that installation and removal of USPS collection boxes has been going on for decades. “It is a fluid process and figures can vary from day-to-day. Historically, mail boxes have been removed for lack of use and installed in growth areas,” she explained. “When a collection box consistently receives very small amounts of mail for months on end, it costs the Postal Service money in fuel and workhours for letter carriers to drive to the mailbox and collect the mail. Removing the box is simply good business sense in that respect. It is important to note that anyone with a residential or business mailbox can use it as a vehicle to send outgoing mail.”

It was Obama's Hand Picked Postmaster General who changed that. Sure, it wasn't a direct decision of the President, but I don't think the presence of buffers makes a difference as to his ultimate responsibility.

 

[JLW]

This my require some thought, but there is a difference between culling post office mail boxes in an off election year to save money and it's another thing all together to cull post office mail boxes and cut staff in an election year when the President of the United States has already went on national TV and pronounced to the world that the post office cannot handle the volume of mail it has already and that additional mail in ballots will break the system.

See the difference. I know.. it requires some thought.

The closest Staples is 36 miles from here, so even if the PO operated out of there, it would have done me, no good.

Small pkg shipments fit in the mail box, just flip the red lever, they'll be picked up. Shipping fees, you can buy online now.

So again The Don lowers himself to be as Oblama was..How disingenuous of you and your gotcha moment. Yes, it is sad that we have politicians who play games with the people's mail service, especially when we the people didn't want it to happen.

well "we the people" didn't want fucking riots, whiney ass moistened bints in vagina hats screaming NOOOOOOOOOO, bullshit russia, bullshit impeachments, bullshit protests/riots and every fucking thing else the left is doing cause they LOST A FUCKING ELECTION but here we are.
