USPS: RETURN TO SENDER? TRUMP WILL CLEAN UP THEIR MESS.

THERE’S HELP FOR THE POSTAL SERVICE
President Trump may merge the USPS with Commerce Dept.

□ Over 34 audits of the postal service have been canceled before completion. What are they hiding?

□ Cursory audit [mini] 2021 = hundreds of millions in
unnecessary spending.

□ $9M arming postal inspectors. 3M on ammunition.

□ $11M redesigning mail carriers’ boots. NO RESULT

□ $15M redesigning mail carrier uniforms. ISSUED

□ $3B to electrify postal delivery fleet. OBM = 4X as
expensive as gasoline, LP or LNG vehicles [birth to death]

□ Over-hiring by 80% for ‘temporary & holiday’ help.

□ Postal rates have risen much faster than inflation.

□ 1970 = 6c 1980 = 15c 150% 1990 = 25c 67%
2000 = 33c 32% 2010 = 44c 33% 2020 = 55c 25%
2025 = 69c 25% Overall increase since 1970 1050%

Biden committed $3B to electrify USPS fleet. OBM condemned ‘bad idea’. ‘Birth to death’ costs 4X that of gasoline, propane, or LNG vehicles.

Inflation hasn’t kept up with costs. USPS contracts out to Amazon and UPS to defray expense, but still it’s not enough.

I just bought a book "The Darkening" by Rob Petri and it is riveting!
