lol so now first class mail will cost $20? I'd rather burn my inventory or sell locally than pay those extortionate pricing.

They have been dying to kill USPS and privatize the mail. Idiot Obama should have killed the Postal Accountability and Enhancement Act when Dems had control

Am retard, whats the gist of the PAE act?

people who hate usps fail to understand the real cost of not having it and the impact it would have in every business in the country

Required the USPS to create a $72 billion fund to pay for the cost of its post-retirement health care costs, 75 years into the future.

What is USPS really better for, besides stuff that should be emailed anyway?
Ian Torres
Yup. That's the real battle. Privatizing away your rights. USPS is gov owned and operated meaning they cannot open your mail with out a warrant. Private company on the other hand can open any package they want to.
Jonathan Martin
Gave the Post Office 10 years to meet the standards already imposed on private pensions to actually fund the ridiculous pensions it hands out to its wagies.
For example, if you're not a scam artist and you promise a 20 year old that you'll chip on for a ventilator when they turn 70, you need to set aside money on a 50 year time horizon.
>AEA did not require USPS to prefund 75 years of retiree health benefits over a 10-year period. Rather, pursuant to OPM's methodology, such payments would be projected to fund the liability over a period in excess of 50 years.

No one gives a shit about your boomer mail. The USPS is a target because it bleeds red ink and donates 10:1 in favor of Democrats.

Imagine you have a company that delivers parcels.
Now think of all the shit you can charge for if your company was a monopoly.
Just by existing, the USPS provides an incentive for lower prices for the entire market.
Still don't understand? Look at Europe, and you will understand, it literally costs $20 if you use the postal service to mail a package from one member state to another member state because its crossing a border.
the USPS is basic infrastructure that most countries don't have and would profoundly alter the US economy if it ceased to exist.

The only reason people use the shitty post office is because they're cheap. How would raising their prices higher than FedEx/UPS save them? So dumb
Easton Roberts
Is the issue that they promised and obscene amount of money for pensions but dont have anything in place to follow through with it? creating massive debt?
So the issue from you guys's 2 post explanation is that the USPS has a massive pension expectation but no actual budget set aside to follow through with that expectation, nor the profit margins to set aside for the pensions?
Yah? Or nah?
I'm learning more about how broken everything is every day, ahaha..

>sell locally
That’s the point fren

meanwhile, people buy chink shit because it's subsidized by the chinese govt.

Yes. Normally a company in their situation would have gone bankrupt long ago and the management would be left poor, blacklisted, and remembered as incompetent fuckups.
Since the USPS is politically protected, there aren't any of those consequences and it's just a fake standoff with Congress over other people's money.
If the founding fathers were even smarter they would've introduced some competitive dynamics - say two or three "posts office" but alas we only have states as competing institutions.

Camden Peterson
yeah this
what's the problem with actually getting some value out of the govt for a change?
For three and a half dollars the usps will take a package from the deepest ghetto of puerto rico and carry it all the way to some beat up shack in the muddiest patch of remote alaskan tundra.
I'm all for private enterprise but this is one of those things that can't be done right unless you're ready to lose money.

>USPS is basic infrastructure
yes yes
usa is pretty huge and the usps takes a lot of friction out of domestic commerce
kind of a national security issue when you break it down

If you think any downballot Republican is suicidal enough to go along with Trump's privatization of the USPS you're in for a rude awakening. Talking about reforming social security is one thing, everyone will unite against dismantling the post office.
