They just told me that the Poist Office has less mail to deliver...and it’s been that way....but “0” layoffs to date.

And there never will be any. No matter how little the USPO does, it will continue to be an arm of the Democrat party.

USPS has held its workforce fairly steady for the last 40 years. Mail volumes have increased about 40 times in that period.

This was done by mechanizing, automating and roboticizing the way mail is handled.

Although there are hundreds of thousands of employees there, each is just a cog in a vast machine that becomes "more machine" and "less human" every year. The human beings continue to be vital to the machine but eventually that will come to an end.

It is conceivable that within 50 years the only employee will be the Postmaster General.
