The U.S. Postal Service has been hemorrhaging cash for decades—centuries, even!—mired in bureaucracy and rotten leadership, and Trump’s finally swinging the axe! On February 21, 2025, he’s set to torch the governing board and yank this 250-year-old relic under the Commerce Department. The board’s squealing, threatening lawsuits to clutch their cushy gigs—pathetic! Trump’s been howling for an overhaul forever, and with Postmaster General Louis DeJoy bailing, it’s go time. This crumbling beast might just get the gutting it deserves.
The numbers’ll make you gag—a $9.9 billion operating loss in 2024, up nearly $3 billion from last year’s flop! Liabilities stack to a staggering $78.2 billion, dwarfing $45.6 billion in assets—that’s $32.6 billion in the hole! Cash reserves shriveled from $8 billion to a measly $4.6 billion, while debt spiked to $15 billion. Their 10-year “fix” plan? A sick joke—losses just ballooned! Are taxpayers chumps here? Because this isn’t a service—it’s a financial graveyard.

Do you happen to know a mail carrier. Ask them how much they get paid. Not including overtime. It’s staggering.

Today’s Word From The DNC is “Gutting”.
Had a tracked package the size of a package of typing paper go to Southern IL to another town 100 miles away in Southern IL go to MO, TN, IN, MO, IN, then to the location. Took 10 days.
If it was one of those small towns in that area it can take a crazy route.
The package was three sheets of paper to help the accountant respond to an IRS inquiry that was received 45 days after the required response due date.
An institution of Buggy Whips, with pension plans.
Now, I receive very little important snail mail. I no longer pay bills using snail mail. I can go a month without picking up my snail mail, and not miss any of it -- especially the third-class mail and, during election season, all the political mail.
The only reason I go in to empty my mail box at the central facility is to keep the mailman from bitching at me about the overload.
If they’d tend to their knittin’ and do their actual jobs instead of helping to steal elections, I might GAS, but I don’t.
And enough already with their stamp options which are heavy with POC. Just stick with flowers and flags.
Mailed a Christmas package from NC to my daughter in GA on December 10th via USPS. She received it two days ago.
If he puts me in charge, the first thing I’d do is cut residential deliveries to 3 days a week. Everyone would either get mail MWF or TThS. Businesses could subscribe to a M-F plan or get mail on a Tu/Th or M/W basis for free. No business deliveries on Fri/Sat outside of the M-F plan. Or businesses could subscribe to a no delivery plan and pick up at the post office daily.

This has to be on purpose.
Trump said, during his first term, that the USPO loses money with Amazon and that he planned to put an end to it. I don’t know if he ever ended up addressing it.

Only fools, or worse, are saying that our money losing Post Office makes money with Amazon. THEY LOSE A FORTUNE, and this will be changed. Also, our fully tax paying retailers are closing stores all over the country...not a level playing field!

The Germans privatized their postal service….better known today as DHL.
Who sits around and gets paid to think up stupid s&^t like this?
Gut it and refit it bureaucrats have the run of it now examples must be made.
I’ve done work for the USPS and it’s horribly behind all competitors. The best outcome would be some form of privatization or partnership, with the postal union out of the picture.
