#1 USPS has a Woolworth’s vibe to it.

#2

Every Wed., when I open my Mailbox and see the stack of Bulk mail.

I also see businesses getting a huge discount to load up my mailbox up with fireplace starter.

As I understand, less than 1 on 100 bulk mail letters result in a customer purchase

#3 The USPS missed an opportunity to securely manage email through verification and lineage delivery of email to customers. I believe businesses, email providers and customers would have appreciated the end result. I have 5000+ unread emails and about 20 of them that require my attention.

#4 On a related typical USPS POS for service note:
We just found out a USPS Certified Letter, we send to Atlanta (about 140 miles from here) on Feb.13th.

Still has not arrived.

Where is it?
USPS.com Tracking site data shows it never left the Post Office we registered it and sent it from, 11 days ago.

#7 “We want to have a post office that works well and doesn’t lose massive amounts of money, and we’re thinking about doing that,”

Sorry to break everyone's bubble. Art.I, Section 8 of the Constitution, powers of Congress -

To establish Post Offices and Post Roads;

It said nothing about profitable. It was and is intended to tie the country together. Whether you send a letter across town or to Barrow AK, its the same price. When they moved the appointment of post masters and higher personnel from your congresscritters you lost your most effective office of appeal in dealing with it. Of course, they were happy to pass it off.

#8 When I request USPS priority overnight for an address 14 miles away, the parcel goes 14 miles to the delivery city hub then 64 miles to Dallas for distribution back to the 14 mile hub and delivery address. Takes two days.

FedEx runs out of the local Dollar General storefront where overnight is tomorrow morning.

#9 Payback to the USPS union for their participation in the 2020 mail in ballot fraud.

#10 P2K as I read it, the power to establish does not mandate an establishment.

#11 To try and drive Direct TV customers to online payments, AT&T sends out my monthly bill by mail, and when it arrives, the due date is approximately two weeks later. I always put my payment in the mail, at the post office, the next morning. Unfailingly, AT&T sends out a late payment reminder the day before the payment is due, and the bank notes my check is cleared by AT&T 15-20 days after the date I mailed it. Much of that is the USPS sloth!

#12 I detest the "on-line" payment effort.

#13 @ #2 load up my mailbox up with fireplace starter. Stuff doesn't burn worth a damn.
