So the racist man “Jack” is an idiot. The reason the postal service is losing money is because it HAS to deliver the mail EVERYWHERE! All those little hick towns and obscure places yes it must deliver. FedEx and UPS delivers along densely populated routes. I admit they can get rid of some of the post offices they are not all needed but again that goes by population demographics and without knowing more information its hard to say how many need to be gotten rid of…and since when is it ok to compare McDonald’s to the postal service. McDonald’s is a bad word with mostly bad food minus the ice cream, fries and sweet tea. But it’s a place that people are CHOOSING to spend their money at. I mean they get hungry and choose to go eat there. The Postal Service is not a place that you choose to go, you go because you have to. Then the fact that the Postal Service has been around since the start of the New World I would hope that they would have more offices. But I must say that with everything going online as far as banking and email there needs to be some upgrades and shifts in how things operate. But I don’t believe that it is shutting down the post offices or privatizing it will work. So where will all these “unskilled workers” work after the Postal Service goes kaput? I have stated before that not all live in densely populated areas so what will those workers do? They won’t have the opportunity to work in the private sector for FedEx or UPS, what will do….work at McDonalds?Then even the ones who do live in the FedEx/UPS areas they won’t all be allowed to work there especially if they are as unskilled as “Jack” says. Ok so lets say that it is true that they are middle class workers with menial skills and would then be forced to move down to low skilled jobs such as cab driving..wouldn’t that then just create a whole new monster by causing all of these people to be on welfare because they aren’t making as much? When the unemployment rate is steady at 10% you will get no love from anybody by talking about taking away jobs and that’s even without all the racist bullshit that is being spewed. I think Americans would take a $7B loss any day over raised taxes to help with the new abundance of welfare cases and nobody would want to hear about higher unemployment rates or about everybody receiving workers comp. Finally if people thought stamps were expensive now I wouldn’t even want to hear about what stamps would cost in the private sector.
