There is a happy medium somewhere on all this spending.

I'm sure Starlink will hook us up much better (sarcasm)

Had a customer just yesterday tell me he does not use credit cards and would have to mail me a check. This is why we need this. My mom and dad use NO technology, they need USPS. I use a shipping company that does not allow cc, have to send a check. USPS isn't just for a birthday card from grandma

No more voting by mail

karlamcgill.bsky.social•2 days ago

Voter suppression plain and simple! They want control so absentee ballots are gone! Stand in line for hours to vote will also discourage voting!

j--embry.bsky.social•2 days ago

Isn't it also encoded in the damn constitution? Their policies are stupid, but it is the unconstitutional implementation that I find most concerning.

Privatizing government that prints its own money. Hmm, pretty sweet contract

don't forget. repubs made the usps come up with $$$ to cover retirements for decades. just sitting there in a bank.

Sunday is a day of action in support of the postal service.

Republicans are Trump accomplices. They are all in this together. Remember.

This would all STOP if they objected. Treat them accordingly!

They appear to be the enemy.

What the hell are we going to be paying taxes for?Leon and his kid to be traveling around?

It’s not here to make a profit? It was meant to lose money?

This is Gump level stupidity!

Pony Express. The original postal service.

Mars-Man makes the most unreliable pickup truck in production. If we want an efficiency expert consultant, shouldn’t we call the CEO of Ford?

Also, where is my DOGE rebate for the 50% Pentagon cuts that Our Stable Genius Felon-King promised on the campaign trail?

Or your medicine if that’s the only way you can get it. Stop killing Americans. Republicans, how is this? OK? How are you OK with killing Americans. All I hear are crickets. Oh, and by the way, cricket was the name of the pretty puppy that Noem murdered because he misbehave and chased some chickens

We should mobilize historians to communicate with each of the Nine Supreme Court justices about their legacy if they are the final failed guardian of the constitution.

The postal service was fine until Congress told them they had to put money in the pension fund for all employees including those who weren’t even born yet. This is a ploy to pay back elected officials who received tons of money from UPS and FedEx.

believepoint.bsky.social•2 days ago

Absolutely! Privatizing the USPS would disproportionately hurt rural communities and undermine a vital democratic service. What are some ways we can better support and strengthen the Postal Service in the face of these challenges?

If the USPS could never get approval from Congress to stop Saturday mail delivery how can Doge put it out of business without the same approval from Congress?

judyz84.bsky.social•2 days ago

A private company would NOT deliver to areas the USPS does, using horses, row boats, etc to deliver mail. They are the property of the American People, not something to be in the hands of greedy billionaires to make a buck off of.

You say Doge, I say Doggie. Either way they need to just stop!

Protect the USPS! (And ultimately people that rely on the USPS for timely delivery of life saving medications.)

The British experience following privatisation of the Royal Mail should be an example of a warning, not a plan to follow. It has been an expensive disaster, a failure. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2024/jan/24/the-guardian-view-on-royal-mail-when-letters-arrive-is-a-social-not-market-decision

j--embry.bsky.social•2 days ago

Try to look at it from the POV of the company bilking customers with nowhere else to turn for mail delivery.
At least, that is how Republicans will see it.

djt1million.bsky.social•2 days ago

I'm looking at it from the POV of actually enduring mail privatisation. If I want to send a birthday card to family in the EU from the UK it is now £3, that's almost $4. Within the UK it is $2. Services cut, offices closed, reliability down the pan. It's a disaster.

They have been destroying it since Felon 47s first regime. DeJoy was chosen because of his willingness to destroy, for personal profit, the USPS.

I thought USPS was protected in the constitution. Where’s the lawsuit???

adkraine.bsky.social•2 days ago

It doesn’t matter what you get in the mail. It’s a service guaranteed by the Constitution.

You know, that thing our elected officials swore to defend.

Even Trumpty-dump!

n0tmyprez.bsky.social•2 days ago

Imagine if Trump were president during the years before Fed Ex, UPS, etc, and email, Facebook, Instagram, etc, we really would’ve been up a creek!!!

Step 1 install a Postmaster who’ll destroy all of the efficiency methods of delivering mail, such as sorting machines; step 2, finish destroying it! 🤬

ELON MUSK,the ugly old criminal satanic immigrant from South Africa is the evil red dragon that is destroying our country.Our government has created musk into the fucking billionaire that people claim his ass is."WE WILL BURN EVERY SHIT DOWN BEFORE ANY BILLIONAIRES OR PRESIDENT FUCK WITH US"!
