Who Taught You To Hate The United States Postal Service?

I don't hate the USPS.

I just don't think it is needed in modern times with the Internet, cell phones, texting etc.

95% of what we get in the mail every day is nothing more than junk mail. The 5% that is useful could be done over the Internet. Private delivery services could be used for the small amount of necessary paper correspondence.

The cost is much too high for the value.

Phase out the USPS and return the money that it cost to the taxpayers.
How are Veterans going to get their prescriptions? Do you as well as smelly hate our Veterans?

All mail-in ballot fear-mongering aside -- I've never understood where this hatred for the post office stems from -- aside from a desire by donors to privatize it -- which I am sure is Louis Dejoy's wet dream...but exactly why do we feel the post office is suppose to turn a profit in order to offer a good service to Americans??

91% of Americans favorably approve of the Postal Service, that is the highest among any government agency -- and this is the same agency who are forced to fully fund employee pensions 75 years into the future -- and this is who we are complaining about not turning a profit?

It is called the Postal Service in the Constitution for a reason, not to provide a profit to shareholders, but to provide a service to Americans, just like the police department and the fire department -- both of which are not required to make a profit...
Who taught me to hate the USPS? Obama did.


that is the most pathetic deflection I have seen in a while....but I expect that from a Trump sycophant...

By the way, remember this Obama quote the next time one of you dumb asses claim Obamacare was a govt takeover of health insurance...you moron

I've always said people give Obama too much credit for having for having any goal aside from his personal success. However, on this point Obama is right that while private carriers have prospered, the USPS has struggled just to survive, and he raises a valid question about just how much do we need the postal service and would the US be better off if we contracted private firms to deliver the mail and allowed the USPS to simply fade away.

are you going to like it if 4-5 different people have access to your box?...and the PO struggles because your congress micromanages it....let them sink or swim on their own....

In my experience, and apparently in Obama's, private carriers do a better job than the USPS does, and I have no more reason to believe postal workers are any more honest that those who work for private carriers, indeed, since private companies can more easily fire dishonest workers and private companies can lose their contracts, there is reason to think there will be less theft and tampering from private carriers than from postal workers. The only thing the USPS has done well in the past is the delivery of first class mail, but today much of that can be safely sent electronically, so I agree with Obama that there really isn't much need for the USPS anymore.

they do as bout as good....and i know this just from talking to the people and businesses i used to deliver too....but anyway like i asked....will you be comfortable with 3-4 people having access to your mail box?.....if one company does it it may be ok.....but multiple?....

Why not? Why would you trust postal workers and not others? Since most of my important mail arrives electronically, it's no big deal, unless, of course, you plan to use the USPS to perpetrate massive voting fraud.

im talking if you got a small package that fits in your box.....joes delivery service has something for you,he sees that package and takes it.....no more package....one company and you know who has a key besides you...3 or 4 and you have no idea ....there is a thing call the sanctity of the mail box...

The "sanctity of the mailbox"? Are you referring to the blood oath all mail carriers must take before delivering each day's mail? I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you are trying to be funny.

there is no such oath.....why dont you answer what i asked you?...

You asked a stupid question. I shop online all the time, frequently buying vitamins or other items that come in small packages that are nearly all delivered by private carriers and are delivered right to my door without access to my mailbox, which is mostly filled with junk mail. Except perhaps in some isolated places underserved by private carriers the USPS is simply not needed anymore.

its not a stupid question....the only reason they bring it to your door is because they are not allowed to use the boxes.....you dont think if they can now access those boxes the carrier wont use them?...if you do you are pretty naive....

lol There is no reason to use the mailbox.

To vote. I have since 1980.

Horrible, lazy service
lets see you get out there and deliver mail in pouring rain in 40 degree weather.....lets see how lazy you are.....
Give me a break......now they have some punk in an SUV take it to some centralized lockers and make us all have car accidents to get our mail. Its never on time. Service at the Post Office? Give me a break whiner. For such a well paid, government funded position I am not getting my money's worth
the only one whining here is you.....and i bet when it rains you sit in your nice office looking out the window.....they have a time limit to deliver the mail?....what time is that?....
No, I am stating clear facts. Overpaid, underperforming...paid for by me. But that is the libber mantra for a well oiled machine right snowflake??
they get paid by the PO not by you.....snowflakes dont work outside they cant handle it..... snowflakes work in doors...right snowflake?....

There will be services that deliver it if there is a demand.

A lot cheaper than the US Mail that cost tens of billions to mostly deliver junk mail.
 
Outdated business model for the 21st century.

In fairness, it's not really a "business model", since their mandate is something other than making a profit.
The US Post Office mandate is if you have a registered address and a mail box, you have to receive mail. Something that Federal Express et Al doesn't have to do.
not true....i had people who had PO boxes and they told me please do not put anything in the box because they wont be checking it...so anything they got i wasted or returned it to sender with an explanation per their orders.....
i had people

What people were those? Were/are you a mail carrier for the USPS?
yes i was..... and those people lived on my route....
Why would people NOT want their mail?

because they were paying for a PO box and that was were they wanted their mail to go...they told me even if its first class send it back,as far they are concerned their family and people they do business with all had the PO box add......so any first class i endorsed it "no street delivery customer has a PO box" and sent it back to the sender.......

I very rarely check my mail, unless I've actually requested something to be sent to me. The vast majority of what comes in my mailbox gets chucked in the trash before I even leave the mailbox store.

I'm sure the mailbox store appreciates mail falling out of your box. You can opt-out of receiving non-first class mail.

WOW! Pension plans for American workers. That's bad! <sar>
Government workers were never supposed to or intended to be making more than the average worker. Pension plans throughout are breaking the peoples bank accounts and people cannot support more taxes to just keep giving government workers more and more. Everyone should pay into and get SS and everyone should be responsible for an other retirement plans that they desire to have.
Government workers were never supposed to or intended to be making more than the average worker.

In the 70's and earlier they did. Unfortunately, private industry hasn't kept up.
I don't hate the post office. It is one thing a country should always maintain. What I do not care for are a few crooked post people like the one who accepted another person's signature as mine for an extremely important document; all the while knowing damn well isn't wasn't me giving that sig out.
there are things that say MUST BE SIGNED BY ADDRESSE and other things anyone can sign for......
These were certified and would have had to be signed by me as they were letters for legal purposes.
Who signed them, little green men from Mars?
One was the postal worker and the other one I do not know yet as I have not seen the state's records on the matter.

All Trump has to do is release that presidential voter fraud report that shows how millions, possibly billions of votes were illegally counted -- and how George Soros is responsible
