The postal service is a jobs program for minorities. And the minority in question is well aware of that unstated function. Those that have been handed jobs and promotions due to their minority status take advantage of their employer at every turn.
It’s a mess.
give a 5-year notice, Quitting Business.
This is just me of course - but I still don’t mind sending my bills and mail out the old-fashioned way. It’s kinda interesting to go to the post office (when the line if not too frickin’ long) and buy one of the new commemorative stamps.
I don’t mind paying electronically. I’ve done it a few times when it’s too close to the bill due date and my payment won’t get there in time. But I prefer using stamps.
I buy a lot from Amazon, and I don't know how many times that the packages go UPS to get to my city, then is handed over to USPS for 'last mile' delivery.
I even get USPS package delivery on Sundays, when normal mail is not delivered.
Something's gotta give.
………….feel free to correct me, but I have not had US Mail delivered in a year and don’t miss it. I get all my needed mail via email. Once I discovered that 90% of US Mail is junk that goes in the trash it became clear that the taxpayer is maintaining this multi billion dollar loser for advertisers, unions, minorities of all stripes and politicians.
Please don’t tell me Social Security Checks for poor people. They required me to provide an account to wire the money to each month. So, SS doesn’t even use the USPO. Receiving SS checks electronically has worked flawlessly for years.
Bottom line, CLOSE the Post Office. We don’t need it.
I hope the post office is able to keep going for a long time to come.
No way in Hell I will ever do electronic banking again. Way too easy for hackers to raid your bank account.
That happened to me just before Christmas last year.
Bank contacted me about a security breach and the thieves made off with over 8 grand from my checking account.
Needless to say I shut off electric banking and had to wait over 3 weeks for the bank to complete their “investigation” to get my money back.
I always have and always will pay my Bill’s by mail.
Electronic bank at your own risk, the hackers WILL RAID your account at some point.
We need some fags on stamps.
How much non-junk mail d people actually receive in a week? Reduce residential mail delivery to 2x/week. No Saturday mail, it’s not a business day. Offer business rates for off-day delivery.
