Your shipping wrecks. USPS,FED-EX and UPS

it is heart breaking to watch Americans argue about this issue. 

A subsidised mail system in America would be a tremendous benefit to the manufacturing strength of the country.  look at what Germany has done with DHL.  some activities (mail distribution) can naturally be monopolistic and hence may  fall under purview of Government operation.  this is not communism.  it's just sensible.

UPS went on strike in the early 70's. One of our UPS drivers then went out and got a job with USPS. He finished his route the first day about 2pm. He was flooded with requests from virtually everyone there to slow down. Made USPS workers and management look bad. Accountability is a stretch in governmental bureaucracy. Must limit union influence in regard to job descriptions, assignments, terminations. Safety issues, yes. Compensation, of course. Cannot tie management's hands in regard to how they manage their most costly asset.

Sounds about right... we've got a bunch of hippies smokin rope all day in Austin... everything is "manana man"  

look at what Germany has done with DHL. 

I used to chat with a couple people in Germany. They always complained about DHL.

LOL with the blaming Trump thing....you realize that Amazon pays a fraction of the USPS postage per package that we plebs and other smaller companies do. Yet the USPS service still runs at a large annual deficit that the public increasingly subsidizes through increased taxes. Oddly enough, Jeff Bezos the owner of Amazon and the single largest beneficiary of this discounted postage, is among the largest three contributors to the Biden campaign (in the 10’s of millions).....ps, as for the above "Trump did it" narrative, sheesh, the Post Office is run by a Board of Governor’s with staggered terms and it would take someone like Trump another bunch of years to get a working majority of members willing and able to level the playing field with the discounted rates Amazon pays (not to mention the immense strain they place on the system).
