How to save the USPS?

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.

We destroyed our processing capacity

Eight years ago we shut over half of our mail processing plants, destroyed the mail sorting machines from that plants that they couldn't use moved everything into a handful of plants.

Then withe pandemic and everyone ordering from home the election, Christmas it caused a total failure of the system. I'm afraid the damage is so great nobody will want the cost of fixing the problem because it would be staggering.
