The USPS is the nation’s lifeline, ensuring delivery to every corner of the country.
We cannot allow it to be dismantled, sold off, and handed over to Wall Street billionaires for profit.
Privatization would increase costs, reduce access, and be an utter disaster.

A Wells Fargo memo theorizes over the profits to be made by laying off postal workers, doubling prices and selling off post offices.

It pays for itself.
Privatise everything and nothing works.

Proved by the British: they elect conservatives who'd sell their own mothers for the right price.

So how does this help the consumer?
They'll break the country in the process, and cripple half the world. And then they will learn.
This is what happens when people get too rich.
This is a wake up call for folks to look into these practices. I think that sector has run rampant and unregulated for too long.
Just Republican greed.

In their view everything should be privatized which means that unelected people set the policy and determine services while raking in huge paychecks.
Government workers are much more efficient.

Fuck off, Trusk!
I’m sure you are right, they will sell it, but whatever profits they make I doubt they use to subsided keeping junk mail cheap to send.
Fuck the vultures at Wells Fargo.
I realize there are some people who cannot believe that. Often the same people who believe that women merely exist to serve a purpose for them. They may not even know they think that, it's so ordinary to them.
Biden kept Dejoy as postmaster general even though he was appointed by Trump to destroy the USPS.
Raising rates by 10% would put them in the black, and that would solve the issue of them losing money.
Rather see postage go up 10% than 2x if it was privatized.
Which of trumps greedy billionaire donors will he be carving up the USPS for as a reward?🤔
These m************ barely want to be a bank.
If they got their claws into the USPS you would have a post office in every third town or city in your state.
They're out to destroy not only the USPS, but the entire US.
Results: Not great
I guess, once shitler has that document in his office, as toilet paper, that won't matter, but,...
Leave it to Trump to turn a good thing into a failure, think Tesla.
I found her view of the state of our nation depressingly true.
Her last chapter did offer a way forward.
The greedy and corrupt forces are laughing at our weakened democracy.
Our past 250 years are counting US to step up!
That “detail” is overlooked.
TRUMP WRECKED ECONOMY AND CAUSED INFLATION TO SOAR.

50 reasons the Trump administration is bad for workers

It takes 1 whole week for a letter to go from one end of our county to another--that's only a 20 minute drive--WTH?!
Ruin the entire country..
How the fuck are we going to get our mail?
Fire everyone, sell everything.
And then what?
What about the mail?
And the people are the ones who are supposed to decide how that looks.
It's a bit more complicated than that, for sure.
Thanks for doing what you did. Hard work, not paid enough.
For-profit anything is a trap. I'm not saying people can't make money... But you see what happens when you get too much.
Does success make them this way?
Nice bit of proof that the Dems are enablers of the Trump project.
We won't go down without a fight.
This isn't a few thousand federal employees as horrific as that is from one agency. It's 600,000 not including retirees.
as they have the VA, to make billionaires even wealthier. We’ve become a country for oligarchs.
