Trump says he opposes funding USPS because of mail-in voting

So maybe the head of USPS shouldnt be firing people or removing mass mail sorting machines before the election.

Make election day a Sunday or a federal holiday. Do everything possible to make voting as easy as possible. Auto register people through their tax returns. There are a multitude of tools that could be employed but as Trump said, the more people vote, the less Reps win.

 

trump didn’t say that

sorry people don’t get a job simply because there is an election 3 months down the road...there are elections every year.

The USPS is going broke cost saving measures are necessary

 

USPS also now says it can not guarantee it could deliver mail in ballots before the upcoming election.

 

When you say "going broke" you're talking about 5 billion dollars...which isn't even a drop in the ocean compared to what we are spending

 

They're saying this WHILE they are actively slowing down the mail

Ohhh...

 

no i mean the postal office has been going broke and has been for years

 

Ok, here's a super easy cost saving measure. Repeal the prefunding law.

Allow them to raise prices and respond to market forces.

Don't put a guy in charge who has direct investments in its competition.

Pretty simple stuff.

 

Quote figures...

well tell nancy P to come back from recess and get to work

you think he is the only person at the post office with stocks at UPS and JB Hunt? both of which use the post office

 

it’s been losing billions every year since 2007

 

He's not the only person but he certainly has the most ability to influence share prices

And oh by the way?

Moscow Mitch sent the Senate home.

The HOUSE (Nancy P?) already PASSED legislation that would address this problem and a host of others including the extra UI benefits

 

So cost saving is sorting the mail by hand? Lol wow.

 

Almost entirely because of the insane pension mandate forced on it by the 2006 GOP CONGRESS.

Ya know a couple other reasons they lose money? They can't raise rates unless Congress allows them to. They can't close unproductive sites unless Congress lets them.

Oh and ya know how much they lose every year?

5 billion. Almost exactly what that pension mandate costs

 

It has been losing money ever since the internet and smart phones made communications easy.

 

nancy p passed a law undoing prefunding? when

what he does has little impact in UpS or JB Hunt stocks

 

very true it’s a Govt agency.

funding pensions is important so that the folks that retire actually have their pensions

 

cost savings is no purchasing something you don’t need and also cutting positions that aren’t needed

 

Edited dunno how this got on this thread like that.

 

That would be correct IF THEY DIDNT ALREADY HAVE THEM. Took 2 ppl to sort now it will take a lot more so that goes 100000000000x the other way than what you think
Quit trying to defend a person because of some kind of misplaced loyalty or something.

 

they didn’t sell all their letter sorters

and no there is also cost for maintenance

 

Yup not all sorters I guess then they should mail the mail to other post offices to have it sorted?

Plus maintenance is way less than more workers to sort

 

why?

and do to have the figures? i trust the Board is Govenors and CEO actually have the figures

 

No you trust them because trump put a stooge I'm charge.

 

No organization on the planet funds their pension by putting aside money for workers who aren’t even born yet

get real

 

you do realize the president doesn’t appoint the Post Master General don’t you?
