The post office

While they should definitely look to be efficient and improve, the USPS also isn't a normal business. It's a service provided to Americans
You’re right, my daily mail consists of 99% junk mail. We need taxpayers to help pay for that delivery.
Another way to look at it, how much money does the military "lose" every year? You want to address wasteful government spending then start with the big dogs
I find the military spending a necessary evil these days. There’s plenty of people in the world that would love to create another 9-11.
And there are people that get medications through the mail. Sounds necessary as well.

I get medications delivered...by UPS.

I get meds from the VA through USPS. Never had a problem. They provide a tracking number.

Only had problem with USPS a few times. Once didn't receive a couple of bills (found out a temp was delivering mail), and a few times received mail from same address but different street. I always put the mail back into a USPS box redeliver. I suspect some assholes just throw the mail away.

The wife bought me a Father’s Day gift in May, it was delivered the last week of July.
The Post Office delivered it to the wrong house...twice.

Bacon of the Month Club?

Speaking of Spin 5 days ago it was reported that the president told your girlfriend Nancy to send him a clean bill what the emergency funding for the Post Office and he would sign it.
So guess why that hasn't happened? So a bunch of assholes can squeal about voter suppression.

No, it was actually a pretty nifty flashlight.
Funny thing, both times after it was delivered to the wrong address it was shipped back to Texas where it originated.
If it was bacon, or any other perishable item, it would have definitely spoiled.

Just so we don't have to keep hijacking threads to talk about the postal service.

Yes Steve- knew 95% of that. So what you going to do for those folks living out in the stix? Think UPS or Fedex are going to want to lose millions servicing them? Cut out Saturday first class mail? All for it. Make junk mailers pay their fair share? Sure- they probably get charged a few bucks per ton of delivery.
Said it elsewhere- this is not the time to go screwing with the USPS business model right before the election. The problems may not be Trump's fault- but he sure as hell turned it into a political football with some remarks that certainly sound like he's suppressing mail delivery.
As to the Post Office being a financial sinkhole with no bottom- saw an interesting thought. They're a service provided for by the government. Um BTW- so is the US military- with around $700 billion in discretionary spending. The $25 billion the Democrats want to spend to prop up the USPS through the end of the year is approaching the level of pissing in the ocean of red ink created by the military and their never ending wish list for new toys- that we're probably never going to need. And if the US government was run as a business (like some want to do with the Post office) it would have been declared bankrupt years ago. Except- Uncle Sam can keep on printing money he doesn't have. The national debt load (just checked) is $70,000 per capita. Considering kids under 10 don't work- and retirees- you can effectively at least double that for people who are actually working.

Crowd protests outside US Postmaster's North Carolina home
- Aug 17, 2020
So a crowd of 100 or more people protest that they want to vote by mail because in person voting is dangerous because it puts you in contact with others and might be crowded !!! You can't make this stuff up !!! HA stupid is as stupid does. -
Just shows they are liars - the truth is, mail in ballots are their ticket to winning the upcoming critical election.
fraud.
they want it to happen badly.

It's not spin. It's obvious. Trump said it out loud. His goal is apparent, and that's to make it harder to vote.
It's spin to try and make it something else

So why is vote by mail bad when Trump is actually suing two states about mail in voting?
And you can't make this crap up. Just got a postcard from the Ohio Republican Committee- this is verbatim off the card.....

But don't let some states mail out absentee ballot requests Donnie- got it.... I'm going to spit on that card before I burn it. For the record, I'll vote in person on November 3rd.

I think your confusing absentee ballot with mail in ballots. Absentee ballots require prior registration and verification before a ballot will be sent. Mail in ballots in some states require no registration. They are just being mailed to mailing lists.

I think Hoorta might be deliberately having some sick fun with known false narratives. Squawks about them like an angry pink flamingo.
Either that, or TDS is taking it's toll on his psyche.

Um, no I'm not. Where do you suppose they get the addresses to send out those mail in ballots? Registered voter lists? I know damn well Trump wants to make a big frickin' deal about the difference.

If it's not a big deal why not wait until 2024 and iron out all the bugs why rush this if it's not perfected? Why are the Dems making a big deal of it?

Because Trump has it in his mind only absentee ballots are OK, not mail in ones. Never mind several states have used mail in ballots for years.
I'll even grant you the 1% chance some ballots went out to people who are dead, or recently moved. That would assume dishonesty on the part of the person who recieved one by mistake to fill it out, and mail it back. And I've heard the signatures are checked against those on file, so that should stop most of that fraud.
Why are the Dems making a big deal out of it? Because Trump is actively trying to suppress mail in voting. Or did you miss he's suing Nevada over it? Another big deal when his lackey Postmaster General is decommissioning and removing mail sorting machines. Add in, recent surveys are showing far more Democrats intend to vote by mail than Republicans. Not Rocket Science what Trump is trying to do.
