“Stop delivering 1.6 billion tons of junk mail daily.”

What? And put the garbage men out of work?

This means our today’s mail will be delivered tomorrow

Presently, our today’s mail is delivered between 5:15 and 5:30.

Non profits pay $.11 for what should be first class mail.

Advertising mail should also be billed at a higher rate.

Political mail should be charged a much higher rate

Oh yeah, I’d read that Amazon contracted with the USPS for lower density areas. I’ve had that happen, just not on w-ends.

But, but, but according to Squad Bimbos all the US has to do is 'print more money'...

Odd... Why not 'print more money' for the Post Office?

Oh, and the real reason for the 'defund police' movement had NOTHING to do with public safety -- it had to do with having money in commie hands and away from police who might stop them.

When you reduce standards you perpetuate a vicious downward cycle.

Dead on the last 9 months has proven that to be true.

What the USPS is refusing to tell us all is that they want to spend BILLIONS on changing their entire fleet over to ELECTRIC.

When those mail trucks are out of charges in the middle of Wyoming or Texas——that adds more days of delay.

When Dallas got hit with the ice/cold that knocked out power for millions, I suddenly wasn’t getting MY payment to State Farm that is processed in DALLAS thru. I had to make a 2nd payment to my local agent to keep my vehicle insurance alive.

That happened 2 times in 4 months....On payments I sent to Dallas.

State Farm tried to blame the USPS. I clearly stated that I pay m,y bills all on the day I get my Soc Sec, and 6 other envelopes went out & all got received.

I have had State Farm for insurance for over 40 years.

I am pretty sure with the massive power outages in Texas/Dallas, there was NO processing happening. When the power was restored, they were shoulder deep in envelopes needing processing.

I now mail my payment directly to my local agent. Go thru the bank within 3 banking days.

They also are giving very favorable rates to Amazon.

Anything I get from the state or county has only about 35 cents postage....

Other large sources of mail get a large cut, also.

Found this on The Liberty Daily:

FBI Admits They Do Not Track Violence At-The-Hands Of Antifa Organization

Like we didn't know that already.

Political mail should be charged $100 per unit.

If they are going to mail out lies, might as well have them pay through the nose.

They don’t mail me lies. They mail me various letters from all sorts of Republican elected folks asking for money. We got two or three a day.
