Guy at the post office was complaining about Trump. The new postmaster appointed by Trump has cut their hours and added lot of new regulations to reign in the free falling Post Office. Their union has them convinced that they are making a profit, it just the requirement of them having to pay out benefits in advance (I am not quite clear on this part and haven't had the time to research it yet) is causing the huge loss.
I expect all of the post office to be more than willing to screw with ballots. Seems the cuts hurt, and I am wondering if the Trump appointee is trying to stab him in the back like many others.....
Financials (straight to pdf) loss of almost 9 Billion USD in FY2019, most of that going to retiree pensions and health benefits. People who don't even work getting that fat tax-payer check.
I read also that "slowing down the mail" is really Trump telling the postmaster to stop allowing overtime. The overtime is costing a shit load of money, the USPS says they have covid cases forcing people to stay home. Anyone with a brain knows how this shit works. I'm guessing the ones getting the 200% overtime are the ones who are retiring soon and they need to ramp up those numbers to increase pension FOR LIFE. If i recall correctly from reading years ago the USPS uses the 3 highest years of pay to determine pension amount, total scam, everybody who works there knows it.
