How to save the USPS? [View all]

I am a 30 year veteran of the USPS, currently a Letter Carrier and before that a Mailhandler and clerk.

I have done every job in the Postal Service from the time you give me a piece of mail to what happens to it and every process it goes through until another Carrier delivers it on the other end.

Their are many misconceptions and good ideas I have seen here on this site but nobody really has a grasp of what is going on and why.

I would like to help more people understand because that is the only way to make changes to a system that for ever has been left to police itself.

I would love to answer any questions and hear what you have to say about saving our beloved Postal Service.
