OK you are not satisficed with their service, I get it.

This has nothing to do with what Trump is trying to do. We are going to have mail in voting. Either fund them or things will be a lot worse.

Point is they wouldn't have been able to do mail in voting before trump and I highly doubt more money would be able to help the severe disarray that the post office is in.

They can deliver FCM with their eyes closed.
Only on DDF does 24/6 mean 24/5/half/half

For everyone of you there are thousands that have no issues. Maybe the problem isn't USPS?

You're right. USPS is out to get me but everyone else is fine. Nah, I know plenty of people who had problems holiday season with packages. And plenty who've had problems with FCM since Covid started.

They deliver 50+ BILLION FCL so you should know those who have had problems.

Still has nothing to do with not funding them and dismantling LSM's.

Pure 100% BS. Overtime has been slashed, there is a hiring freeze, LSM are being dismantled and many other things to try and sabotage USPS.

I never worked for USPS so I'm not very familiar with their operations. From what I've seen online, the dismantling of these machines is considered normal.
I wonder what people who type "u" instead of "you" do with all their free time.

You don't dismantle the machines needed to sort the ballots. Do it after the election. Dismantling machines does not save any money, it costs money. You just lock them out, that is SOP.

Why not use UPS or a more reliable service than USPS?

From Trumps PMG: DeJoy said last week that the US Postal Service is "not slowing down election mail or any other mail" and has "ample capacity to deliver all election mail securely and on time."

Couldn't it be easier to and cheaper to make UPS and FedEx's time stamping procedures "up to par" with USPS, instead of spending 3.5 billion on a failing USPS?

I'm seeing articles online that they've been dismantling different types of LSM's that sometimes are less efficient than human sorting. Which type of LSM was dismantled at this USPS office in the complaints?

Please post link to LSM's that are less efficient than human sorting that they are dismantling.

UPS or FedEx is not setup to deliver FCM/letters. Would never be able to get setup in time for this.

I find UPS very efficient at sending same day/over night mail. In this situation the mail is going and coming to the same state most often (if your so nervous we can send out of state ballots via USPS with overloading them) which shouldn't be an issue for them.

For all I know there were the original LSMs (that started being dismantled in the late 90's) still sitting there (and it's the USPS, for all I know they where still using it), which became highly inefficient due to the amount of workers needed and breakdowns. And now they are removing them. So which LSM is it?

Do you understand there is different equipment needed for packages, flats, letters, ect?
