BOOM! We cut to the chase!! DeJoy says UPS and FEDEX do this, too (schedules)

[Roland99]

DeJoy says UPS and FEDEX do this, too (rigid delivery schedules that leave mail leftover at the end of the day or leave before all mail is on the truck)

but those are companies designed FOR PROFIT!!


The USPS is NOT!!

[Glorfindel]

1. The USPS is a f***in' SERVICE!

It says so right there in its name. DeJoy the baby-chicken-killer should just resign on national TV and walk out.

[Iliyah]

2. The Pony Express (April 3, 1860) . .

"The mail must go through"

[Wellstone ruled]

3. Think not.

Our Niece's Hubby is a UPS Super,they go till all of their Load is Peddled and the only time a Truck returns with product is,has to be a emergency. Not unusual too ferry a relief Driver or in case of Equipment breakdown,ferry a different truck and do a transfer,but,all packages and letters do get delivered unless there are issues with delivery Addresses or product on the wrong route.

Not surprised that someone like DeJoy would not know what the real story is.

[malthaussen]

5. That's product already loaded.

Mr deJoy's point is that none of the product that comes in after departure time is put out for delivery, whereas in the USPS, the effort heretofore has been to ensure that all mail that comes in the morning goes out in the delivery, which adds time and cost (and thus affects profit).

Bottom line, he has been retained to make the USPS operate like a for-profit business, not a government service. Although that's really bullshit, he's been retained to demonstrate that the USPS cannot succeed as a business, and should therefore be privatized. He's off to a good start in that.

12. Product that comes

into our Postal Station after route's are out,is handled on a priority bases. Carriers are notified if they have Amazon or Priority Mail and a transfer point is setup from these pieces to be delivered.

Sounds like DeJoy has no clue once again. Just trying to CYA. Our local Station suffers from a lack of man power. BTW,no one is talking about all the Trucks that are down for repairs.

[WyLoochka]

22. Trump hates Amazon - hates Bezos

Not only out to privatize USPS. Out to hammer Bezos as well. DeJoy does have a clue. He knows what he wants to do. Essentially, privatize our postal service and do some heavy damage to Bezos while at it.

Trump should need to campaign on destroying the Postal Service and be elected with that on the table. When he loses in Nov it should be regarded as a rejection of those plans and everything else he is doing. No postal service changes allowed at all.

Remember how McConnell, in Feb or Mar of 2016, stole our Supreme Court seat that we voted for Obama to be able to appoint? I regard it as "my seat."

Oh no, "the voters had to weigh in on that" 10 months later. Wouldn't even let my Supreme Court Justice, Merrick Garland, into the Senate building for meet and greets.

No postal service privatization. The voters must decide. The voters must reject the plans and similar plans to destroy Social Security and Medicare by throwing trump out in a landslide.

[Ilsa]

4. The USPS should pay for itself as an ongoing concern just

like the US military does. Oh wait.

like the Department of Health & Human Services does. Oh wait.

like the Housing and Urban Development does. Oh wait.

like Department of Education does. Oh wait.

[malthaussen]

8. Oh, wait...

... in the true Capitalist wet dream, every one of those services would be privatized and run for profit.

-- Mal

[Ilsa]

10. Yes, and we don't. Because we know that

the services are for everyone, not 100% individually transactional.

[crickets]

11. This, this, this is the point. Thank you! nt

[malaise]

6. Did anyone ask him if either of them was in the

effin' Constitution.

[Roland99]

9. do not recall that being being mentioned but I missed a fair bit at the beginning

[Cartaphelius]

7. "No"Joy needs to explain

how much money his non-postal companies related to Postal Business

will make by his decapitation of the USPS...

[ms liberty]

13. What a moron, and this is a vast simplification of how they operate

Not to mention they are for profit companies.

[Miigwech]

14. I second that BOOM!

[dalton99a]

15. Are UPS and FEDEX government agencies

in the Constitution?

[IronLionZion]

16. When will the military turn a profit?

When can we say the military loses money?

The postal service has the word service in it's name. It's to serve the American people in many areas where they don't get private delivery services or can't afford the higher prices.

[dalton99a]

18. +1

[Roland99]

20. Well, it does. For SOME people

[IronLionZion]

21. But not the American people, so might as well cut costs!

[ancianita]

17. The lesson: when we allow the "outsourcing" our service, we can no longer have service guaranteed.

This is completely ON CONGRESS, which outsourced its control of USPS to a postal board back in the Bush days.

CONGRESS has to regain control of the USPS.

"Investigating" postmaster generals is more work than just properly managing the USPS itself.

[dchill]

19. The USPS is NOT. Not YET.

He's jumping the gun and the shark at the same time.

[bucolic_frolic]

23. If you think it's expensive for the government to run things

go look at the profits of private industry for government contracting.

Any time you add shareholders you bleed profits out of the business. It's just more expensive.

These GOP clowns will get the price of USPS delivery so high as to shut down ecommerce.

24. THE POSTMAN

[link:|

[Midnight Writer]

25. When I worked at USPS, the mantra was "Every piece, every day".

If mail was left in the office, the supervisors would drive it out to the carriers and see it was delivered.

[Roland99]

26. And I bet every carrier today still feels the same
