The holiday season came and went, and it appears the U.S. Postal Service did a good job. Yes, there were some reports of letter carriers getting swamped with packages here and there. And, yes, there were citizen complaints about delivery delays and mail theft.
But on the whole, the USPS delivered in late 2023. There was no systemic crack-up as there was in December of 2020, when bad weather, sick mail workers and other factors slowed holiday cards and gifts for days and even weeks.

Agreed. At this point the USPS is an anachronism. Let private firms handle first class mail...whatever there is of it.
Yabutt, how will ballots be generated?
I used to send people postcards until I found out that nobody checks their mail much.
Nope. To perpetuate Beltway influence on elections, the post office is a critical black hole in any vote tabulation scam investigation the bureaucrats are running interference for.
“I used to send people postcards until I found out that nobody checks their mail much.”
I will plead guilty to not understanding what a postcard was until I got my first one from a friend. Like two years ago. My husband explained it to me and again, I will plead guilty to thinking this was something new.

I used to send myself postcards from places I traveled too so when I got home, I would have them so I could remember what I was doing at the time. Usually sitting in some dive bar somewhere.

I’m surprised when I get my mail the same day as my notification.
It’s raining.
I called in sick. I don’t work in the rain.

It’s in the constitution. There is that.
Also, if the Federal Pension system lost the Postal retirement inflows, it would go broke. It floats all of the other Federal Pensions.
And…as far as privatization goes, what do you think Fed Ex and UPS does?
So….getting rid of it isn’t going to happen.
....”..yes, there were citizen complaints about delivery delays and mail theft....”
you better believe it....one of my offsprings met with a local USPS supervisor about not receiving numerous Christmas cards and he basically blew it off....yeah, we have a lot of mail, but....backlogs, you see....so sorry....maybe better next year.....maybe those cards will show up....eventually....
The horse and buggy would still be here if it were a gummit agency.

Great idea, gonna try that on my next trip. I sent a postcard from Istanbul to a friend, she got it 10 months later.
You magnificent bastard!
It's already been privatized. That's the problem.
It's one of the few Constitutional functions of the Federal government that they actually should be performing. With exceptions, of course. It's not 1789 any more.
I delivered mail for five years 1969-1973 as a summer temp to pay for school. I wore the pony under USPOD and switched before I finished to the stylized eagle of USPS.
Certain functions, like first class mail to every mail stop in the US should be returned to the Post Office Department. Yes, I watched the stupid Kevin Costner movie. Also yes, it made a good point.
As far as the taxpayers subsidizing the last ten miles for Bezos? Screw that. Bezos should pay for his deliveries, AND if he wants to mail them under proper mail rules they need to wait for the First Class mail to go out. If not, let him buy all the trucks, drones, and drivers he needs to afford that yacht.
Flats (catalogs, magazines, Nikki Haley ads) can be privatized for all I care.
I’m ready with Seinfeld guns ablazing!!
