one of the doors at my post office has not been working for over a month.

i’m watching to see how long it takes them to repair it.

a capitalist business would call up a repair shop immediately and get the job done.

not the socialist usps.

meanwhile, the a/c’s cranked up for the comfort of the union. the post office is only 2 miles from the ocean and the climate is sublime.

then, there’s the pool of water next to the building that is killing the landscaping. the automatic sprinklers over water the sloping landscape.

then, there’s the unionized “workforce” inside the building.

Your local post office is most likely a rented facility. The landlord has an obligation under the lease terms to repair the door.

If he doesn't repair the door and its left to USPS to do so, they will take the cost out of the rent.

Eventually, when maintenance costs rise high enough, and USPS needs more money for repairs than they would ever pay in rent, they have options ~ (1) Seize the building, (2) Move somewhere else, (3) Drag the landlord through the courts almost eternally.

Sounds like the landlord best get that door repaired.

In government operations, capital is spent on wages to buy popularity and votes instead of being reinvested in the business to improve productivity and profitability. You no longer find stamp machines in most post offices. They were never maintained and had to be scrapped.
