I am not going off liberal fairy tales, I am going off of direct statements and actions from the POTUS and postmaster general.
That is a perfectly valid opinion, but that does not change the fact that it’s currently up to the stages to decide. State legislatures have the authority regulate nearly all election. Things like notices, registration, supervision of voting, protection of voters, prevention of fraud and corrupt practices, counting of votes, duties of inspectors and canvassers, and making and publication of election returns are completely in control by the states. The constitution and SCOTUS are both very clear about this. If you want to reform mail in voting on the federal level, the only venue to do so is via a congressional bill, not choking the life out of USPS. The constitution is also very clear on this issue. The executive branch has no power to regulate any matter of elections. |

No nerve struck. When I said that the issue of mail in voting is up to the states, you said I probably never read the constitution. Yet the constitution very clearly spells out that nearly all election matters are up to the individual state legislatures. I figured with all the emojis and Libbie slam gifs you could keep up with some light razzing. |

He got demoted from mod and disappeared. Why he was demoted is a mystery. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

Give me a break! The USPS is by charter supposed to support itself. The only one "choking the life out of the USPS" is the USPS itself. The President is a fink. |

Even in the 70's the PO was a place people tried to get into because the employee's were overpaid with boatloads of benefits. You could be a 5' tall 300 pound 55 year old woman, but you'd been there 20 years and you'd have to kill somebody before they fired you. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

Except it has strict legal limitations on its pricing (maximum its allowed to charge), which is why it cannot compete with services that charge more. Its expected to be run like a buisness, but cannot raise its prices, recipe for disaster.... |

It cannot raise its prices? Is that why a stamp still costs $0.13? The President is a fink. |
