Post Office closing

[cropcirclesquare24]

If the Post Office is closed down--at least partially in the fall-- by congress, how will that effect your business?

Normally I don't do politics, and in general I liked Trump.... till Covid, and watching a few of his press conferences (not news casts just the conferences themselves)...

Is it wrong of me to hope he does get voted out just so some one can say to HIM... You're fired!

Cause really in the middle of a pandemic where people are dying and you want to talk about how great your popularity is on facebook?!?

--the only reason we are having these issues with USPS is the historical USA government handouts thru-out the past decades to pay for the USPS's under funded retirement program and present under priced parcel shipments costs (that benefit ebay sellers, maybe). There is a reason Amazon dropped FedEx but still uses USPS for some deliveries, cheap parcel delivery rates partly funded by we tax payers thru hand outs to USPS. I have personally experienced a 3 week delivery by USPS from CA to SC, 2 weeks from MI to SC, and a lost item from IL in the past months. And with no measurable delays from Fedex or UPS. Maybe it's time for all sellers to offer a non USPS option.  We Americans need to educate ourselves about our own, non-transparent, policies before we criticize the likes of China for their openly acknowledged government paid shipping policies. Only capitalism will survive.

Wow Sweat Tea! Well said. Nice to see someone else feels the way I do about Congress, the Senate, and Parties.

Its truly amazing the lengths people will go to to blame Trump for anything and everything lol. Im no trump fan but....how is he the problem with the postal service? Postal prices at an all time high. Gasoline exceptionally low this year compared to last several. So prices highest ever. Fuel cost lowest in years. Online retail numbers through the roof. So busy they say they cant do mail in ballots. And not only can these people not make a profit.....but they lose money year after year. And its alllllllllllll Trumps fault. Hilarious. Im guessing it was Trump who made the deal between the usps and china to charge almost nothing for china to ship through usps right? Oh no wait.....Trump was the one who said thats why the usps loses money. 

I know you cant stand him for personal reasons. But thus usps thing? Trump is more likely to save it than kill it. Its been losing money for decades.
