You would think people on FR would be more knowledgeable about the USPS. Or at least do some simple research before posting. The ignorance is astounding. But, the USPS is more visible than 99% of what most freepers do for a living. Too bad we can’t critique what everyone else does for a living. Anyone want to start? Teachers? Farmers? Anyone?
Do you know any of us overpaid, underworked worthless carriers and window clerks who make 90k a year? And I sure don’t know any 3-day-a-weekers, whomever that might be, making 40k. I have 24 years with the only company that sends their letter across the country for 44 cents. How about you?
People hear what they want to hear. How many years has the Postal Service been telling the public that we are self-supporting and do not use “their” taxes. Quit making us prepay the healthcare for retirees and give us back our overpayment. Let us make a decision without having to go to Congress for permission to blow our nose, since we know how well they run the country.
It is a window into just how much seat of the pants posting gets done here.
