I don’t understand all of these complaints about the US postal system.
I’ve used it routinely for more than 3 score years. I think I’ve only had two items ever ‘lost’ in the mail.
Off-topic, assuredly:
I once knew a guy in the upper echelon of the postal workers union. He was quite chatty and hated management, his motivation for the job. He said the only thing he despised worse than management were all the losers who used the union to protect their jobs. There was no accountability, only deadlines and raw numbers.
Carriers know they’ve got it made if they can make retirement. If that means dumping mail to make their numbers - or if they’re just lazy - they really don’t give a shit.
I’m sure there are exceptions. There always are.
Show me an instance of a postal worker whistleblower ratting out his coworkers. You can’t.
The money-losing, bloated bureaucracy of a ‘postal service’ needs to be abandoned, especially in this technology era. Private enterprise will fill the void, as will innovation.
Of the stuff you’ve sent, you mean? ;^)
