Rural folks depend on it! And time sensitive mail needs dependable carriers. You deliver chickens? The post office does!! You gonna deliver the spring seed catalogues? The post office does. Will you be part of the community? Our postal workers are! That’s why we trust them. They’re our neighbors!
Doge knows and doesn’t care- they make spurious arguments to convince the stupids to run interference for them but they know what the Post office is for. This is about tearing America limb from limb for Putin period
"It's a public good." This is something that our current government has no capacity to understand. We need to hold steady and maintain standards that these contemptable, greedy shells of human beings can't take from the rest of us.
The USPS has been in serious decline for at least 20 years. It used to be the golden standard for mail delivery and service. Today, customer service is terrible. The hiring standards have been terrible. Mail disappears, gets lost, packages lost, mis delivered mail frequently. It needs attention.
They have already screwed up the website functions. I tried to do a hold mail request, and it took 3 tries to find a page to do so. It was on the first page before.
The United States Postal System is enshrined in the Vonstitution of the United States of America. Your local letter carrier will have the right, nay, the obligation to go all postal on them.
it is one of the only departments in the country that is provided for in the constitution. evil petty little men with a money fetish are trying to take even more away from those with little. this is not the world Star Trek promised me.
It's not about the public good - it's about privatization. They want to LEECH profits out of every public good. They are led by the greediest man in the world.
United States Postal Service makes a profit congress fucked them 20 years ago if anybody would just look up the facts it would make things much easier in life.
“President Barack Obama’s budget for the 2013 fiscal year calls for the destruction of tens of thousands of postal positions, as well as the elimination of Saturday mail delivery as early as January 2013.”
Thank you, Mother Jones. This should be a given and now, sadly, needs to be said - like so many things we are watching drain away. And the Maggas keep cheering him on.
The USPS is better at what they do than any private company could ever be.
I prepare mail for a living, and I know more about it than these ass clowns ever will.
DeJoy has all post offices understaffed! I know because I work for the usps in Lincoln NE and we are short by 9 people in automation. So not all manual mail or packages get processed every night because we are all sent to help in automation
If Trump gets control of our postal service and privatizes it, mail in voting will be difficult or eliminated completely. Many citizens will be disenfranchised! 😡
Congress rolled over January 20th and have let Trump and Elon have free reign since. They don't care what those two do or destroy as long as their hands don't get dirty.
DOGgiE isn’t “getting it wrong”. They don’t care. Their mission is destruction no matter who else gets hurt. It won’t be them that suffers from their actions. It will be us.
They went into a think tank studying peace with guns drawn. They won't care about a mom who works as a letter carrier to pay for her kids' tuition and braces.
When a Nazi scum like Felon Musk is losing big money in Tesla & has the opportunity to screw people and make money from something like US postal service of course he definitely would.
DOGE is a dubious department. Everything they do is shady.
So is Musk getting it wrong or are we not getting what the administration wants to do? Fake media- diminishes the truth, Control social media- subvert the truth- Privitize the USPS-control the voting by mail
Our rural Post offices are already privatized. (Kern River Valley in Kern county California)(McCarthy country)
We have SHIT service. Only open 4 hours, 4 days a week. Not one package gets delivered, only pink slips. Pissed off delivery drivers because they are forced to drive personal vehicles. 😢😡
The MAGA plan is to first fire people and cut back on the quality of services. Then shout about how inefficient the service has become and sell to the public that privatization will make it better. No doubt that Musk, Bezos, FedEx (large GOP donator) and other oligarchs are dying to own these.
Problem #1: Mail in ballots. We do not trust one of these billionaires, or large carriers (like FedEx), to securely deliver every ballot, on time. It’s already questionable given what destruction DeJoy did with USPS, but it will be a lot worse if privatized. This is why they want to do this.
Trump just lowered the minimum wage for federal contractors from $17.75 to $7.25 per hour. Which means they will convert many to contractors. This administration is shitting on everyday hardworking people. We know this is to give themselves tax cuts (extend and expand Trumps 2017 tax package).
I worked for & with non profit orgs for 35 yes. The purpose of their existence was for ‘the good of’ - not for profits or to pay dividends. I used to think our gov’t was non profit, to serve taxpayers by assisting w/ health, safety, education, & a better life for their children. Greed is our demise.
No private business is going to deliver mail to people who live in areas in Alaska, Wyoming, or Maine where the nearest town is 50 miles away. It’s not going to make them a profit.

Then how much will it cost to mail a letter or package. Who is going to service more remote areas.
This national nightmare won't stop until he's impeached 🌅
Muskalini is stupid, destroying everything he touches, especially himself and the filth he exudes

Likewise,
Felonious 1st fascist is stupid and soon to be impeached
This dystopian clown 🤡 show has completely destroyed itself in record time
GOP = FASCISM

Well that’s good since they probably haven’t made a profit since Ben Franklin ran things.
Totally mismanaged and bleeding money, time to remake it into something good.
If no then get rid of it too!

Handing everything over to

That’ll get their attention
The world's richest man is the most stupid man. Who knew
DOGE is a dubious department. Everything they do is shady.
So many people will get affected because of them.
Just another takeover from the greedy 1%...
without a care about how it affects "We the People".
They want the data.
Hujly.
It is NOT here to be anything else:
To liken it to a Pvt Corp, beholden to shareholders is
Plain Wrong📌
How things are supposed to work are not their concern; destruction of the Federal government so fast that there’s little chance of effective pushback.
We have SHIT service. Only open 4 hours, 4 days a week. Not one package gets delivered, only pink slips. Pissed off delivery drivers because they are forced to drive personal vehicles. 😢😡
