[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't undestand the outrage in this thread. The USPS normally take *days* to deliver mail. This is normal. Having ballot request cut-offs 4 days before the election will cause some of those ballots to not arrive back in time. This is simply a statement truth and facts, based on service level standards established in 2015 - under Obama. [/quote]

The outrage is the removal of sorting machines, which cuts productivity because then our postal workers have to sort by hand, which takes longer. Days longer. So, instead of getting mail in 3-5 days, it take 7-30 days. When you are depending on the USPS for medication, the difference between 5 and 30 days could be life and death. When you are sending your rent check in, the difference between 5 and 30 days could mean late fees, hit to credit rating or even eviction proceedings. For small businesses, it is the difference between a happy customer and an irate customer?

Unlike the rest of you idiots, I worked for USPS for 15 years, supporting mail processing/sorting/delivery operations. The removal of sorting machines is long overdue, as most of them sit unused, taking up space that could be utilized for package sorting, and expensive maintenance for the parts and IT systems that keep them alive. The removal of these sorting machines is a realignment of USPS mail/package handling infrastructure to better align the organization with the future. This will *NOT* impact mail delivery service level - any opinion to the contrary are scaremongering not backed up by data. The remaining mail sorting machines have plenty of capacity to handle the current first-class mail volume. The fact that you are pointing to "medication" delays as a possible outcome shows you just how ignorant people like you are. When was the last time USPS delivered medicine in a first-class sortable envelope.

What a dumbass. [/quote]

Hey, ya big dummy.  The White House says it isn't removing any sorting machines.  So who's lying, you or Trump?

I question your attachment to reality. The white house said they are not removing sorting machines *BEFORE THE ELECTION*. Meaning, the USPS is still removing those sorting machines, just not before the election. Doesn't make a difference, whether an unused sorter is stiting in a processing center or some storage warehouse somewhere doesn't make any difference on the fact that it won't be used to sort mail.
