The bald guy who says we don't need USPS anymore is so wrong. The post office has transitioned from letters to packages. There are days I have packages for more than 75% of my route of 500 residents. Some people get multiple packages EVERY DAY, along with their mail. With Covid, it has increased even more how much people shop online. And like the PO enthusiast in the video said, we deliver to EVERYONE and everywhere, including the places UPS, fedex, amazon and the like won't. Lets also not forget the hundreds of thousands of people it directly employs and millions whose businesses rely on it. It's a joke to think the PO won't be a part of our future. There a lot of problems with USPS. Too many to list here. But there are solutions to these problems if we could just get some competence running it. /rant

Y'all realize that private companies like UPS, Fedex, and DHL have to compete with the price rates the USPS sets right? So, if the government offers a service that competes with their business and doesn't opperate for profit -- they can't just charge you whatever they want, bc you will have a cheaper option. The only thing keeping them from raising their rates like the oil and gas industry, where they can charge WHATEVER THEY WANT WHENEVER THEY WANT is the United States Postal Service. That's why if you care how much your packages and shipping costs, you should want the postal service to exist.

Well some of its core issues is hiring and retention. In my local area, they're REALLY hurting for drivers but they can't get the people they want, young people ages 18 - 30, because most of the people they bring in fail the drug test for mainly weed. Then the retention issue is a domino effect. They're heavily understaffed and they will make you stay for overtime when you can't. So anyone looking to do it part time is being quite literally shown the door since you will usually have to work an extra 4 hrs due to understaffing, 4 hrs that you cant spend working due to various reasons. So that rules out anyone that has passed the drug test, is looking to do it part time and is either in college or trade school. So at the very end of the day, you're left with a vary small amount of people that will actually stay but most of the people that do stay are middle aged people, and even then they might leave due to the high intensity work due to the weather the (USPS mail trucks don't have AC [they do but its usually broken and if it does work its very weak so what the use is a small fan in the summer and layers in the winter])

The guidance counselor is in her 50's now and the music teacher is 70 now. They have probably gotten older and forgotten about me.

I can tell you as a city carrier, USPS isn't going anywhere. I've worked 13 hr days all of last summer and been working 10 plus hrs, 6 days a week ever since.

Postal Office is hiring like crazy nothings going to happen unless the Amazon CEO signs a mega contract with the US government

Nobody's ever crossed a 50% barrier. And that's why we don't get half our mail lousy outfit

Get rid of Louis DeJoy!

Get rid of DeJoy!

There are citizens who cannot use a computer, cant get a telephone, cant access the internet may not even have a radio. In America many of these people are called Inmates and there are millions of them. Ask them if the they like to get and send mail.

Either fix the post office, or find an alternative. I just got my bank statement almost 2 weeks late. My tax statements from banks have not arrived yet, and it is February 5.

I fell in love with a postal worker.

As a letter carrier I have delivered PLENTY of cremated remains.

I still love getting my mail everyday! I still send cards to family and friends!!!🤩

How many people rely on the USPS for their ecommerce business? Emails are faster than letters, but the post office is the only service that can handle sending packages anywhere in the world.

get rid of the requirement to prepay their healthcare and they will be able to invest in itself and profitable

A song from The Postal Service, I see you editor. Keep reaching for such great heights :)

SMH......The PO is profitable every year. The mandate that congress tried to put on the USPS made it look as if they were loosing money and they weren't. Congress wants to use money from the USPS for spending in other places. I'm happy that USPS is a independent government agency.

They do know we deliver packages too right?😆😆😆

Been watching from afar and it is a tragedy, especially considering it’s history here. However, the last 20 years, I got tired of going to the post office and the employees had this look of either contempt, or they were “short” with customers or impatience. Didn’t matter which location.

Do you think in 10 years, that the usps won't need to deliver mail anymore, just packages? I'm curious

Post office isn’t going anywhere. Yes you can do about everything on the internet. BUT.. the internet cannot get it to your door.

Always rec.d daily mail deliveries during covid 19 pandemic while schools and businesses where shutting down. Great job USPS! We'll never forget.

I used to work there and it is very poorly managed

Hopefully they stick around. They still help out amazon deliver packages because amazon delivery service partners can’t keep drivers lol.

The post office has fallen so far. I worked for them during the Christmas season. And my office was severly unorganized. My first week was 76 hours. I didnt last much longer after that second week since my old job said i would get a pay raise. The problem i have with them is that i still have yet to get paid for my work. Its now been 2 months. The supervisor i worked under no longer works there and the new one kept making excuses from. "I forgot to put in your hours" to "it should be in the mail. Call hr" which they tell me its the post offices problem. My city post office is also weeks late in mail because they cant find good help (i wonder why) tho the co workers were so nice. Its the post office itself that i have a problem with. If it was a private organization it would be fixed in a week but because its a federal agency it has to go to multiple hands.

I take a lot of pride is being America’s “most trusted” brand and govt entity.

It would be wonderful to see an additional coverage deep into the postal system. Specific comments about the diverse USPS workforce on the importance of their job to America. E.g. USPS; truck drivers, custodians, clerks other than window clerks, bulk mail entry specialist, financial managers, vehicle maintenance mechanics,etc. A deep research of the postals mission of connecting the country. How would it be if we did it have the USPS? How would it affect our freedoms in our country? How would it affect elections, commerce, economy? What else does the post office delivery other than letter mail? In what value?

In one of his earlier novels, famed science fiction writer David Brin created _The_ _Postman._ It was the story of a post-apocalyptic refugee who, in a desperate moment, trips over the skeletal remains of a rural route mailman. Appropriating this persona, he leverages it to his survival. He finds himself trapped in his lie and becomes a heroic figure, knitting together the isolated communities of a devastated America. The novel is _much_ better than the movie.

I did the job as a CCA. It wasn't worth it being sent to the ghetto everyday, climbing three to six steps to put mail in a box that's next to someone's front door while walking up the stairs with a satchel weighing 30-plus pounds with a bundle of coupons, newspapers and parcels weighing you down. The old-school mail buggies were off-limits, we couldn't use them, however, there was one guy who was super senior and he was the only one allowed to use a buggy. And as you walk up the stairs you find that the concrete's is crumbled, the wood is rotted, no railings to grip on and at the same time you're trying not to slip and fall. You get back to the station in the late evening, only to come back the next day only to have an ugly supervisor cry about your timing and how you're supposed to do more work because you're a CCA. Imagine being assigned a full route for the day which is set up for 8 hours and then they take 5 hours from another route and add that on to your day and management cries and wonders 3:12 why you couldn't get it all done in 7 hours. They do good job of chasing away reputable people who would have otherwise kept the job but left due to harassment.

I have been so disappointed these last two years with USPS. Price increases and slower service! This last 5th of February I sent a package Priority Express 3-5 business day delivery. Today it's the 13th and has not been delivered and unknown location. I ordered my COVID free home tests and my order has not been acknowledge via Email. It's been more than two weeks without no tracking information! I love my postal workers but they are burned out!
