You Should Be OUTRAGED by What Is Being Done to Our POSTAL SERVICE

[Grammy23]

93. You are on the right track with your assertions that Fed Ex and UPS are involved....

Fed EX already plays a role in the transporting of the US mail and has done so for years. I am related to someone who worked for them and it is a fact that for a long time, they have carried a portion of the mail to expedite moving it from one part of the country to another. This is not new.

Do any of you think that the lobby for Fed Ex (and they have plenty in DC) aren't actively working to get the USPS pushed further into the background so that they can slide into that slot to move our mail even more than they do? And how much do you think it will cost to send a letter when they are the only game in town? We have it pretty darn cheap now, even though some people complain about how much a stamps costs.

Fred Smith and "the suits" that now run Fed Ex are Republicans. Big supporters. They are not interested in what's good for the US. They are in it for what's good for Fed Ex and it's share holders. Fred had good intentions when he started by having a LOT of Democracy in the work place and was recognized for that. But THAT Fed EX is gone and Fred is not making all the decisions now. It is run by corporate people and by so-called "efficiency experts". They used to reward employees who figured out better ways to do the job. Now if you do not follow company rules ... to the letter....you are punished. The Fed Ex that was recognized in the 80s is long gone. Fred made his millions and whatever he intended his company to be matters little any more.

And if destroying the USPS furthers the agenda developed by the corporate leaders running the show now, they will do whatever is necessary to accomplish that goal. Another sad chapter in our history.
