Trump about to takeover the United States Postal Service and fire the entire governing board

[ItsPeople]

So not turning a profit means they’re outdated? I’m not understanding your point.

Would you stay in business if you kept loosing money every year? I get it’s not a business in the traditional sense but it is, you’re still subsidizing them through your tax dollars.

It’s not even an essantial service like firefighting or policing. There are other established ways to deliver mail of all things in 2025.

Alright. So what’s the entire point of the post office today if there are other alternatives for mail and package delivery?

Packages yeah but nobody else can deliver mail door to door like the post office can

Americans are stupid enough to believe government is a business.

If you want government to be a business, you can't be a democracy then.


You can't run a business when you switch up the ceo every 4 years.

It is an essential service. What the Hell company would be delivering mail and essential goods to remote ass places in Alaska or Maine or American far out ass territories except for the Post Office? That is literally the Post Office's mission. Take that shyt to the edge of the fugging empire and drop it off in some remote ass place.

It delivers mail to areas private business' are too limited in scope to reach at lower rates. Being that the alternative has no incentive to provide those services because it is not profitable, thus the benefits of an organization like the USPS are more diffuse. That is the the difference between private business and public service.

It’s an outdated business model, if you support Uber, air bnbs, or any of these gig type businesses then you can’t be in support of the post office as it is today.

Everybody don’t have email and internet and shyt lol. There’s literally parts of this country that stiff feels like the 90’s because that’s how they live. People still look for checks to come in the mail.

The US post office is highly inefficient. If you see the cost effective services provided by post offices in Europe or Japan, I.e savings and investments, life insurance, it’s just an embarrassment. Instead of thoughtful changes the Trump admin will destroy it and pass costs on to consumers in favor of a for profit monopoly.

The post office “loses” money because the service they offer is not balanced for profit.

If they needed to profit then they would have to charge lots more for the service or majorly reduce the frequency/reliability.

Reliable, quick, mail is a public service/need.

It’s not the same as a private package delivery service.

We would all be subject to the whims of those corporations. The USPS isn’t perfect just turn over a critical service to privatization is not the answer.

I’m just here to learn

I have a personal belief that he's doing this just to hurt the post office because he believes those mail in ballots lost him the election against Biden.

Revenge tour type sh*t

Everyday they do nothing but try to hurt the average American . Literally nothing good . We can’t survive like this , yet 30 percent of the country is loving this .

All that rah-rah about 'America first, the American people! make America great!' .... and the first thing they do is go after the average American federal worker

Sh*t, you can even make the argument that Americans right now are getting it worse that immigrants. Juan the immigrant who has funny looking citizenship documents and who's been here since 2004 is skipping off to his landscape job, while Amy the 15-year Federal worker who was making 45K and served in the military is getting fired like a damn dog.

the post office is subsidized through your tax dollars and isn’t really “free”. Those for profit companies you are just paying up front.

I don’t see how these companies provide less of a service than the post office.

because companies for profit will not go to bumfuk, USA to deliver mail for $$$ if is not returning $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$. The resident of bumfuk, USA will never receive mail or would have to drive to the nearest location for the service. Further point is the historical aspect of the post office.


Look up countries that do not have a national letter delivery service.

Are you a full grown human?

It is highly inefficient for a reason though. The post office not only serves the continental United States, but it also serves territories of the USA, including ones oversea. I don't knock the postal service, because people don't appreciate what they actually do until they have to pay some private bozos I mean Bezos to do it. Do we really want to trust a corrupt and terrible benimane like Trump to run the post?

Some people are their own worst enemy.

Pull up to private business ABC, Inc. that does mail delivery, try sending a letter to Grandma and Grandpa and have to fork over $38.92 for a stamp.
