Oh, you missed my post about how the USPS is self funded and does not receive taxpayer dollars.

How do you feel about the Federal Government paying it's own postage?

It should, does it not?

I'm just glad that John Q. Duncan 22nd didn't get re-elected to congress again so I don't have to get his "updates" in my mailbox again or see him sitting in business class on his weekly trip to DC.

No, it's just a dumb non sequitur.

IDK. Kinda why I asked.

I'm saying Donald Trump is trying trying to undermine the post office. He is. He even said it.

“USPS now expects a $13 billion revenue loss tied “directly to COVID-19” this fiscal year. Over the next 18 months, that loss would approach $22 billion.”

“the agency’s Board of Governors is asking Congress for $75 billion in total financial relief.”

Ok, and Trump disagrees with this. How is that undermining the USPS? The organization needs to be revamped and overhauled and until changes are made to where it can at least break even no taxpayer money should be given.

The USPS lost 9B in 2019. A dinosaur.

Lol the democrats want to do this. But it would undermine republican attempts to kill it.

They could have 1-2 delivery days week and no one would miss them

What are the Dems proposing?

They want to end that idiotic 75 year pre-funding law.

Do they?

Here is what I found.

The Delivering for America Act would prohibit the Postal Service from implementing any changes to the operations or level of service it had in place on January 1, 2020, until the COVID-19 pandemic has ended.

I still Had the apartment and was back in office a month later and Went by to pick up and they did not have it. Went back to apartment and a months worth of mail was crammed in my box, with the yellow card that says ”hold“ on the bottom. Idiots
