Unintended consequences of Trump's war on the post office: veterans not getting their medicines on time

[Harry Dresden]

the PO can handle large amounts of mail.....the mail of today isnt anything like it was .....they still have the infrastructure....

Today I heard from a good source, just the opposite of what you said.

And it's understandable. The US population has grown a lot over the past 10-20 years. In the year 2000> 281 Million. Now > 331 Million. Increase of 50 Million. Many whole countries don't have that many people (Ex. Canada).

if the population grows so does mail volume.....they add thousands of addresses every year......

Riiiiiight VA delays are the post office fault.

Riiiiiight VA delays are the post office fault.

There aren't any VA delays. That is fake news, and not a very good effort.

That's why they're now swamped. And thus, cant do mail voting.

The post office changes being made have been in the works for 10 years...you libs are being misled big time....

Sure removing sorting machines in major post offices have been in the works, you are so full of shit.

Postal Service to Revamp Bulk Mail Center Network

We have just learned that the Postal Service plans to undertake a significant transformation of their entire Bulk Mail Center network-likely the biggest change since the 21 BMCs were created more than 30 years ago. At the same time, they have apparently s

screwing up elections by keeping people from voting is something all republicans are about these days. Trump says republicans cannot win if people are allowed to vote.

HA HA HA. Leftists will say anything. You got a source/link to the preposterous claim that >> "Trump says republicans cannot win if people are allowed to vote." Go ahead. Dredge something up from the fake news. Let's hear it, for a laugh.

Secondly, Democrats are the ones who are screwing up elections, by NOT keeping people from voting - illegal aliens, whose votes they need to win elections.

I understand he has requested his vote by mail ballot for an upcoming Florida election. Must work pretty good. Bet he votes early and mails early, with the damage done to the Postal Service under his watch.

Do you even know what the commies are trying to change re voting, in the stimulus bill? How about you explain it to everyone.

Everything gets delayed and even many of good supporters will end up affected and pissed off:

Policy changes that slow delivery at the U.S. Postal Service are taking a toll on military veterans, who are reporting much longer wait times to receive mail-order prescription drugs, according to Democratic senators.

In a letter Friday, the 31 senators take aim at new Postmaster General Louis DeJoy, a GOP fundraiser who took the post in June and has since imposed several operational changes that have led to mail backlogs across the United States. His cost-cutting measures have come as President Donald Trump rails against increases in mail-in voting and says he may hold up postal funding to impede the balloting in November.

Did not even know the Communist party was working on a stimulus bill. Pretty sure the Democrats control the House of Representatives and the Republicans control the Senate. I didn't even know there were communists elected to office. Are you sure you are not just over stimulated? Maybe you are in the wrong country.

it is pretty much the same everywhere as far as ballots to registered voters go........dont believe too much of this shit that is being said.....including from the so called union heads.....i myself will believe the people who actually touch the mail....

 

[two_iron]

When did President Trump **** up the postal service? Be specific. I completely missed it. You've got marxist Dim shitstains that have been in politics for 40+ years that should be drawn and quartered for letting the system collapse over several decades.

Everything the Dims touch turns to shit.... and then dies.

Perhaps you should try keeping up. I see you skipped right past the challenge I gave your comrade, how about you try explaining the voting changes the commies inserted in the stimulus.

I get several medications from the VA on a regular basis.

I have not (yet) experienced any delays whatsoever.

However...

As the USPS continues to throttle-back, that is likely to change, dramatically, in the coming weeks...

If-and-when it does, there are one helluva lot of veterans who are going to blame Rump and his minions.

Trashing the USPS? ...the Orange Baboon-God has got to go... hurry November 3rd.

Seems that when the British privatized their mail system things got much better.... Maybe we should begin to think about doing the same.....

We did, we call it UPS, and FedEx.........
