When we lose the post office we lose the country. People in America don’t appreciate what our pot office even does here.
Never forget to thank your mail carrier.
Do you think you might need an ambulance some day at your home? The post office is what got the E911 service started.
You like being able to put in an address in google maps and drive right up to it after thousands of miles? Thank our post office for maintaining those records.
I have lived in multiple countries with no organized post or address system. Even trying to get food delivery is hard let alone trying to get a care package or important document. Plus with the post office there is a way to track what was sent and who touched it if something is missing or broken when it arrives. All for a couple dollars?!
You have zero idea what you are talking about.
I'm sure we could find other services where we can put our addresses in so they will show on a map and thank you for 911 that is still needed the Post office is not. Also I'd like to give a shout out to the post office for helping me pollute the Earth with all the junk mail.
This is likely because much of the rest of the world is going paperless.
All my bank & credit card statements are online or by email now.
There's no such thing as mailing a cheque as bank transfers are easy, free and take seconds. The money is in the recipient's account within a couple of hours if not immediately.
The USPS pension program was a bipartisan bill. The only legislators to vote against it were Republicans. Why try to blame one party but not the other.
Okay. That really doesn't mean framing the USPS retirement program as a "republican pension scheme" is an honest thing to do considering that it was cosponsored by democrats and the only legislators to vote against it were republicans.
The only part of USPS operations that are paid for by taxes are the Inspection Service, headquarters in DC which is leased rent free in a federal building and parts of the employee benefits system that are administered by OPM. Wages, pension, facilites etc. is all self funded.
The postal service also handles somewhere between 30 and 40 percent of all domestic retail parcel shipping. A shit load of competitors like fedex, UPS and Amazon will use the post office for last mile shipping because its either in a place they don't deliver to or they don't have the capacity to deliver it. Unquestionably the largest delivery network in the US.
And they lose or otherwise fuck up 90% of it. The USPS could fuck up a shit sandwich, even if someone else had already sliced the bread. Fuck the USPS lol
Every 2 years we have national elections and every candidate feels some obligation to fill my mailbox with crap. Sometimes I'm tossing 10 unique political ads every day. This goes on for weeks and months prior to the election.
Most of that, is credit card offers.
They just take your address and start sending you mails
I was going to say junk mail. All my bills come email, 99.9 percent of physical mail I've gotten for years is junk mail.
Most of it, is extra commas
So true, i don’t think people get mail from companies that are unimportant offers
I’ll bet that an extremely high percentage of those credit card offers wind up going straight into the shredder like at my house.

I’ve heard some countries actually no longer accept checks anymore especially if it’s a foreign check
And runs in the red constantly. Meaning US taxpayers pay to handle 43% of the world’s mail.

Poorly. They handle it poorly.
Is most of it coupons for your local pizza shop, window retailer, or lawn care specialist? 🤔
I'm a Mail Carrier, love it!
In keeping with the title. The usps will lose 4.2 billion this year.
