Well considering they lose $1Billion a year and must be subsidized by the tax payers I'd say its piss poor management from the post master and not the president.
You are blaming 1 guy that's been in office 3 years for something that has been mismanaged for 40 years. Hell most the vehicles they deliver mail in are 30+ years old.

Privatized is better than government run. We the tax payers fund something that bleeds money like a stuck pig. Or private companies that compete with each other bringing us the consumer, lower prices. I ordered off amazon on Friday at 5am and got my package on Sunday. That's a must better place than USPS could ever do.

My wife uses USPS for her business and depending on where the packages go they arrive really slow or damaged amd it is very difficult to get a refund. Private business doesnt want negative feed back so they will refund no problem. Easy fix than having a fully pissed of customer.

It's actually quite impressive to get that much factually incorrect information into a couple posts. Like you're just wrong about everything aside from the stuff that is arguably more opinion based.

So the only reason the USPS has financial difficulties is because the private companies lobbied and bribed the legislators to require them to find their retirement plans so far in advance they are funding employees they haven't even hired yet. No other organization whether private or public has to do that. So while you can argue mismangement it isn't the post master general. Can't blame it on Trump, because it's the legislators who put it into action, but Trump absolutely deserves shit for how he is acting towards a constitutional branch of the government.

Privatized isn't inherently better. I don't know why people try this mindless argument "Oh public is so ineffecient!" so is private, it has built in inefficiency. The goal of a private company is not to be the best at whatever service or product they provide, their goal is to make money so they deliver the minimum they feel they can get away with.

The USPS delivers to every address in the US, and that means delivering mail by donkey down canyon paths to some native american reservations from what they said at the USPS orientation I went to several years ago. The USPS handles end point delivery for large swathes of the US. If you don't know what that means, it means all the private companies send their rural mail to the USPS for delivery while they only handle the routes that are "worth it". No private company is going to ensure that every address in the US can reliably receive their mail.

Also what is that nonsense about 30 year old vehicles??? And the amazon on sunday thing? I know the USPS started doing sunday deliveries lately apparently, is that what you're talking about?

Trump has made this country stronger and more capable than it has EVER been. The only people who disagree were born after 1995.

lol no. No to all that nonsense.
