USPS warns it might have to shutter by June as $2 trillion coronavirus stimulus package provides no funding
- Thread starter Joe Money
- Start date
I just watched the clip on AP of him talking on this, and it's so obvious that he's a Jeff Bezos hater.
He'll try like hell to keep it going cause he's building or was building the largest postal facility in DC placing the old one and renting it to the United States .
depends you in it for the quick flip or the long haul?
Postal union chief responds to President Trump's ‘joke’ remarks
President Trump offered a broadside against the Post Office on Friday. “The Postal Service is a joke” he said. The President a union that represents mail carriers appeared on Yahoo Finance a fews hours later and responded.
Tell him, bro!! My advice to him would be, learn to grow it, turn it into concentrates and then into edibles.. Go after the non-smokin market!! Damn y'all got me thinking about flowers this morning..
Does your pussy ever stop hurting?
You bitch more than any one human being should. And what the fuck is so cushy about working at the post office?
Cac shit .... In your eyes, if a nigha ain't sweating , he ain't working hard enough and is overpaid...
I worked at a distribution center back in the 90's when I was in college. It was a block long in each direction and four floors. Like a neighborhood. They had a store in that bitch. I had a ball running around that place. Made good money during Xmas break. Most of the fucked up people are military vets dealing with PTSD. The older women were cool as shit. They were taking home $2400 every two weeks with over time.

That's too much homie. If you're making edibles you need a supplier. That's two totally different skill sets and processes. Fucking with solvents extracting concentrates is high risk. Fuck around and kill somebody. Test labs are making good money too. They are getting mad samples from many sources too.
All this is true, although it is obvious that Trump's hatred of Amazon's Jeff Bezos (owner of the Wash Post as well) is what is really pushing this agenda (always calling out Amazon every time he talks about the Post Office).
Remember it is alleged that the Trump administration high-jacked a multi-billion dollar government deal with Amazon and gave it to Micosoft instead, solely due to Trump hating Bezos.
I mean he aint lying though. Mutherfuckers be too comfortable. It also doesn't help when there's 20 people in line and two people working. Then out of nowhere that second person closes up shop for whatever reason.Does your pussy ever stop hurting?

"With 25 years as a contractor that provided transportation services for the U. S. Post Office I have observed much and there are 2 very wrong misconceptions being floated. One is by Trump that raising postage rates is a good idea. That I have observed is the opposite of what is good for the post office and the other is by top postal officials is that primarily depend on letter delivery for revenue. History Lesson that will clarify much.
The last year Clinton was in office the post office made a record ONE BILLION IN PROFITS During that year one of my trucks during the Christmas season hauled 13 FULL loads of priority parcels out of one catalog mail order facility in just one day.
Within 6 months of those record profits and extremely large volume of parcels being moved G W Bush appointed a commission to go into the post office to make it more efficient. One of the changes that year was to change the rates that mailers like that facility had to pay for priority bulk mailings to a higher price. The next December after the one where I had averaged over 9 loads a day for several weeks before the Christmas holiday and 13 one day I ran only one partially loaded truck per day most days and made a second trip on only 2 days .
Had that business begain to fail? NO where the Postal service had been hauling almost 100% of their parcels when the post office was operating in the black with lower parcel rates while Fed EX and UPS had only 1 small pickup each then Fedex AND UPS were both there all day long loading and sending trucks out.
even had difficult getting into the dock to haul the few items that customers had requested go by U S Mail. They priced themselves out of the competing market and lost many millions U.S. wide in gross revenue all of which they had retained a percentage of as net operating revenue. That entirely blows Trumps uninformed theory that raising rates would bring in more revenue. They must have competitive rates in order to get the business at all. It was also at that time the Post office officials began to explain their sudden record profits into losses as due to letter loss due to the computer. That was an excuse and a very poor one.
The more popular computers became the more people began to order online the products they had previously had bought locally. the more online orders meant more parcels being shipped . Delivering letters has never the bulk of the profits of the Post office they were just a part that kept a stead stream of revenue when parcel shipping would dip. The postal system MUST run trucks and have flights scheduled run every day on scheduled trips to ship the mail from any one designation to others within its hubs and net works if those trucks and plains are almost empty or loaded full.
When they lost the parcel business and concentrated only on low cost postage stamps for letters and cut rates for advertising bulk mail those trucks and flights began running at low capacity but still cost just as much to run as before.
The Post office in reality is a Transportation business and when they give away their main loads to the competition by pricing themselves out of the market they lose money. To make their problems WORSE the teamed with Fed EX to let FED EX do their smart mail thing by getting the bulk of the shipping for getting the parcel and adding it to their trucks and flights making more full and profitable loads that they take all the way to the local post offices who then does the expensive delivery part of taking those parcels as they must deliver to to every home every day.
By working that kind of deal both Fed Ex and UPS have saved a bundle in delivery costs as the post office does that expensive pert of their job for them. It has been a GREAT deal for the USPS competition with only a small return for the USPS. That is NOT good business sense. THEN as those bad decisions began to bleed income the Republican controlled congress said the post office is going broke so they must fund their retirement fund to 75 years in advance in just the next 10 years.
Had they been making record profits yet that alone would have sent them into losses. In other words everything the Post Office has done since that commission was set up to make it more efficient right after it had made record profits has been the exact formula that would have been used to destroy it."

I worked at a distribution center back in the 90's when I was in college. It was a block long in each direction and four floors. Like a neighborhood. They had a store in that bitch. I had a ball running around that place. Made good money during Xmas break. Most of the fucked up people are military vets dealing with PTSD. The older women were cool as shit. They were taking home $2400 every two weeks with over time.
That's too much homie. If you're making edibles you need a supplier. That's two totally different skill sets and processes. Fucking with solvents extracting concentrates is high risk. Fuck around and kill somebody. Test labs are making good money too. They are getting mad samples from many sources too.
I hear ya, bro!! However, that's the route I'm on... Don't forget you can make concentrate from kief.. I agree with what u said. Right on

you are correct its a whole different world of the weed business, but its easy to protect yourself,
you just have to make sure your shit is properly labeled with exact type of strain, and thc dosage....
you also have to be aware if your customer is a newbie to the game or hardcore stoner...
have little training classes on what to do, if the edible causes too much paranoia, most of the issues from edibles are the lightweights and their paranoia fits..
but like roots was always sayin, the weed business is more than just selling weed..
you got guys becoming millionaires just selling organic fertilzers to the weed growers...
Due to union contracts and budget constraints clerks have to be off the clock and take lunches at certain times / intervals or it will be a contract violation, = the union filling a grievance, = $$ (in some cases not just for the one inconvenienced person, but all clerks in the station, so $$ multiplied.)
Is it an inconvenience to the customer, surely...but in a lot of cases management's hands are tied..there are stations that have had to close their windows for the entire lunch hour because clerks couldn't get overtime to cover the lunch.
That's a lot of knowledge most ppl won't read.... but one thing that wasn't mentioned USPS does not own any planes....they rely on UPS and FedEx to ship items cross country. So in the busy holiday seaosn if FedEx /UPS has a surge of volume and limited room on their planes...guess who's container gets picked to stay on the ground...yup USPS'.
And at this point it is way too late in the game to try to start. So the USPS has to play this delicate game of balancing business and business relationships. If they cut prices and gain too much business their partners won't continue to help them at the current rates. (Lower shipping fees = more business and more $$, but it also means more $$ paid to keep their items on partner planes....). Long haul trucking can only do so much, priority and express items rely heavily on partner planes.
But the clerk's take lunches though....
USPS also delivers packages for UPS (surepost) and Fedex (smartpost) to places both don't service or would be too expensive to service.
Btw USPS doesn't just use UPS/FedEx planes. They use commercial airlines and trains to get packages across the country as well.
Fuck the usps
go back to the oil days
letters and horses
go back to the oil days
letters and horses
Sure they do.....
My major point was that they aren't in full control of their own cross country logistics... they depend on others.
But yes USPS certainly delivers last mile packages for UPS, FedEx, DHL..etc....but USPS has a business relationship with all those companies....there's give and take...and if USPS decides to increase fees to them or lower rates to customers and increase demand on the partners, service would ultimately be effected
It might end up that way..
USPS just made sweeping changes to its leadership as lawmakers call for an investigation into delayed mail ahead of the 2020 election
Democratic lawmakers say recent changes to the nation's mail service put its ability to field a flood of November absentee ballots at risk.
