Rubes voted for a dude who is going to now make it expensive as hell just to mail a letter because why not private USPS, make it for profit, and let billionaires keep screwing us?

Even the simplest simpleton can understand that if the USPS needs to lose less money, Trump could ask his Postmaster General to raise rates on the first day in office. It would be a STUNNING Trump victory if he did!
LOL jk, he’ll gut every American institution and sell it to the highest bidder.
It’s hard for me to care about these rubes. Don’t feel much of anything for my country right now. I’m in a let him burn it down mode. Let his voters get exactly what they voted for. I’m ok suffering to watch them burn.
Here’s the thing, if they do privatize USPS, they aren’t passing the savings on to the average taxpayer. They’re goin to take the “savings” (which will be significant net losses by removing quality civil service jobs from communities) to pass that money to tax cuts for billionaires.
Many government agencies could be privatized. The problem is the costs of some of these services, like rural mail delivery, will never be acceptable to private business. Result is savings but loss of service. A big company will say they can do it and then over time would cut all such costs.
I’ve been expecting a check from a client. It came today. I am in Lexington Kentucky, they are in Lexington Kentucky. It was postmarked in Louisville, Kentucky on December 5 today is December 16. Ridiculous.
Someone needed to mention that there is a bird flu and that’s why eggs are so high, basically it’s a chicken pandemic. 🤷♀️ Trump can’t do shit about this and if he could, well, we already saw that.
We sure as heck can't vaccinate chickens! Imagine what would happen to us all if that could be done. It would be like drinking Jim Jones kool-aid if we eat chicken and eggs - at least that's probably what RFK Jr. thinks in his brain-wormed mind. "Stop the vaccines!" he shouts.
That's the way "Pay to stay " prisons operate. Hire minimum wage guards and when the going gets rough... Call 911 and hope they get there in time!
DeJoy was primed into this position exactly to destroy the institution we rely upon to give the GOPutin the perfect inroad to privatize it!!!
It will nearly impossible for them to privatize the usps. It will be fought tooth and nail by all of the unions representing my fellow employees, carriers, clerks, mail handlers, drivers, mechanics, custodial etc all have unions and all are strong and all are against DeJoyless putz
Now I happen to be on Soc Sec . never a problem ...check always on time ...most mail always on time .....so , what are all those retirees , who voted for Trump , gonna think , if the USPS is privatized ......and private carriers go on strike ......which gov carriers CANNOT do ???
Ugh. In my experience the local Post Office, local branches of the DMV, the IRS all provide far better service than me trying to get through to a corporation: an airline (Virgin Atlantic), internet provider (AT&T), health insurance (Anthem Blue Cross) all drive me crazy this year.
At first, I thought that "Rubes" referred to Little Marco, and I thought "well of course that dipshit wants to privatize the mail service - what are you getting at?" Then I realized what you were actually saying.
Privatizing the public USPS is the same as STEALING all of the land and vehicles and equipment. Fucker Trump will want a cut from whoever the scumbag is that he gives our stuff to.
The only people who really need the usps these days are the rural trump voters.
He wanted to withdraw us from the international postal alliance during his first reign. He said it was because China had an unfair advantage, but rather than deal with that he also was willing to get paid by UPS in FedEx...
I rarely use the post office. An occasional get well card but that’s about it. I suspect I am typical. No wonder the postal service is in such terrible shape.
Maybe it’s time for a deep dive into the privatization of Medicare - Medicare Advantage plans. Denial of treatment to seniors and huge increase in costs to Medicare. Privatization of essential services means wasting money on profits, executive salaries, marketing and advertising…not better service.
Thanks to legislation signed by Dubya Bush requiring the USPS to fund 75 years of future pensions. No business or government entity is required to do this. It was all planned to make it look like the USPS was losing money. Go price Priority Mail and see what UPS charges for the same service.

Deportations and $TSLA gains.
I'm tired of coming home to a box jammed full of junk mail, especially the B2B scams.
If you ever open a business you should prepare yourself for a deluge of scam mail declaring that you're violating various statutes.

Privatization ALWAYS decreases customer satisfaction WHILE increasing costs.
