Boom--that's because I don't have a life in Yuma. It's either post here or go to the casino. This is a lot cheaper. :ohno: :ohno: :ohno:

They need to allow the USPS to do things to be more competitive and offer additional services for a modern age. The entire management of USPS should be fired for agreeing to a union contract a year ago that guaranteed no layoffs. They need to end Saturday delivery. They need to close a lot of small town post offices. They need to close duplicative post offices (where I work there are two adjacent towns, one is pop. 4000, the other pop. 1200. They each have a post office. They are 1/2 mile apart :ohno: ).

But none of this will happen because our govt. is completely disfunctional. :ohno:
Bingo.
-End Sat delivery.
-They literally need to close several k post offices.
-Reform their bloated union contracts.
-Trim their workforce.

All this could be done through a managed bankruptcy.

The USPS is the cheapest way for me to ship. In my area all the postal employee's are very nice and easy to work with. UPS is very difficult to work with on the other hand and expensive. The USPS just needs to be reorganized internally, not replaced.

Here's why we're doomed as a Nation
The TSA and the USPS both need to be privatized (asap)
but it doesn't matter who's got a majority or who's in charge - neither party - has the strength / the balls to do what's best for America...

We're stuck with two shitty parties running this debacle (fraud) of a congress

TSA = Gone..!!!
USPS = GONE...!!!

but that'll never happen under anybody's watch in either party

1) I'd love to see a three year plan of privatization on the TSA (Privatized in 3 years)
2) A five year plan on the USPS (Privatized in 5 years)
3) A 5 year plan on restructuring our Education system


HLS is the Harvard Law School and that needs to be shut down immediately (sincerely)

My concern about turning the post office over to a private industry, is the cost and convenience of sending something in the mail. I am looking at UPS as the example, higher prices, less service. I'd rather see the current post office reorganized. Similar to Obamacare, let's keep the good parts and get rid of the bad, instead of removing the entire program.

We all would be nice and easy to work with if we were grossly overpaid for what we do, never had to worry about losing our job and nothing, ABSOLUTELY NOTHING, was expected of us. :nod:

Fuck government employees and the USPS.

The post office is different. People do lose their jobs for poor performance at the post office. Seek knowledge and ye shall find under your bfn.

Because our federal government can't do anything in less that 36 months
So gradual planned processes might be the only way ANYTHING will ever get done

I'm concerned the price of shipping in a FREE MARKET postal service would be a lot higher.

Let's privatize the military too. Remove the middle man (pentagon) and we could afford more wars.

How about the park service? You don't see Disneyland struggling.

Treasury? Time to "free market" our money.

Well, I could get behind the park service going free market. With the existence of the "Fed", some would argue that we're already there with the money aspect.
