Again, the biggest issue with killing the post office is that it will eliminate rural mail delivery. So, again, kill it and hurt your constituents the most.

Trump cares about power, whatever the cost. If he actually cared one bit about his constituents, he wouldn't have convinced them that covid is a hoax and shouldn't be taken seriously.


You’re really asking this question? The USPS sucks, should be shut down. If the government can’t even run a post office, how do you expect it to run healthcare?

Also, mail in voting with the USPS? hahahahaha...

...ha.

By that same logic, if the government can't get the police to do what they're supposed to, they should, again by your logic, be completely shut down.

The reason the USPS sucks is people intentionally trying to sabotage it to make a case against it. It's really the only thing Republicans know how to do anymore because none of their stances are actually based in reality.

I know members in my extended family whom retired in middle class due to working at the USPS. The post Office just like newspapers and Ivy League schools charging 40K a yr to give to athletes to go on scholarship are being eliminated in Recession.  Just like Home Day Care are outsourcing Day Care Centers for Toddlers

They've been doing that for years. Too many people put trash in the mail boxes, or wasps build their nests inside. And there is less and less personal mail being sent. No business in Manhattan is going to be using the mail boxes. If they use mail, they are going to pre-sorted by mail route to get the cheapest bulk rate.

At Central Washington University they were campaigning for pre-paid ballots. While students registered in Kittitas County could put their ballots in the ballot collection boxes, students registered elsewhere had to mail their ballot (or drive home). But no students had any stamps. If they went to the bookstore, they'd be laughed at and told to go look over next to the buggy whips and 8-tracks. Those pushing voting were given permission to give away stamps, and USPS did put a temporary mailbox on campus.

It may shock you to learn that not everyone in America has a bank account and some people have to receive paper checks and cash them.
