My country did that long ago. Works worse every year.. sometimes I have to wait for my Mail for a week. Used to be 24h.
Oh, the financial losses that can be directly linked back to Louis DeJoy's actions while in charge to actively sabotage the service, the same DeJoy that Trump appointed to sabotage the service?
They murdered it so they could sell it off, don't let them claim otherwise

Yeah, good luck with that.
Sincerely,
The UK, where we already had that stupid fucking idea.
Wow, so wild that the agency you crippled with a nonsensical pension funding requirement is no longer running as efficiently as you demand! what a huge surprise, no one could have seen this coming!
Super cool that the Democrats didn't reverse that insane requirement btw.

Citing the USPS’s financial losses, Trump argued the agency should not rely on government subsidies.
It already doesn't. USPS is entirely internally funded. What a fucking idiot.
Much of their operating costs is due to the insane pension funding they have to do. Way more than other parts of the government.
United Tesla Shipping...UTS
United Tesla Institute... UTI
Shipping Tesla Institution...STI
So many possibilities!
Nah, Elon's all about dat X. He'll just call them all X.
Call me dumb… but what does UTS actually stand for?
Google says University of Technology Sydney.
Adding "medical" to the Google search returns.... University of Technology Sydney, and a health consultant in Australia.
So... I'm going to go with University of Technology Sydney.
While Google results have tanked the past few years, I can't find a combination of keywords that even suggests some sort of sexual/urinary ("naughty bits") infection.
DuckDuckGo returns Ultimate Tennis Showdown.
Adding "medical" suggests to add "syndrome" and got me to "Ulnar Tunnel Syndrome" ("ulnar neuropathy at the wrist where it passes through the ulnar tunnel")... So, too much masturbation? I'm struggling to make it naughty
Yeah… I looked it up on Wikipedia and got similar results, plus a river… IDK what they were trying to go for.

Its almost funny how cartoonishly evil the Republicans are. They literally are shutting down all public utilities, giving contracts to the rich, spending trillions in the name of "cutting spending", kicking out random people, and im pretty sure a Republican has openly decared friendship to be his greatest enemy (because "woke" or smth). If this was a simulation the developers are getting extremely lazy with this plotline, the villans are literally just evil.
Its cause people are delusional and think they are the party of "small government" just because they lower taxes in the short term.

You Americans will have to fix the shit this idiot breaks for generations to come.
Americans will give Democrats exactly 4 years to fix the damage and then vote for Republicans again. Bush and Trump are two of the worst people to ever hold the job and it still didn't cause any lasting animosity.
i didn’t think they will be able to. all the kleptocrats will make sure that there’s some legal document that will guarantee that they get hugely compensated in the event that the government tries to take their property back.
I don't think he will actually be able to pull this off. All federal agencies use USPS because they are govt employees, there are tons and tons of policies written about what has to be sent using USPS. Sure he probably could try to do this, but I imagine he will get a fair bit of pushback internally
