Comments by "😊 Erin Thor" (@Erin-Thor) on "Why This Rural Wyoming Town's Mail Was Sent 104 Miles Away" video.

All I know is here in Dallas, Texas, is LOCAL MAIL has gone from overnight to 2 days, to two weeks or more. Several birthday cards were received over a month after the postmark, one within WALKING DISTANCE.

What irks me is that under Trump’s guidance, a two fold plan was implemented. 1. The GOP has litigated in almost all states, winning in most Republican states, to QUIETLY change the date mail-in votes were counted from ‘postmarked by Election Day’ to ‘RECEIVED by Election Day.’ 2. DeJoy worked to slow down the post office. Removed sorting machines, removed mailbox drop off boxes from major cities (mostly democrats) Nationwide. I get the profitability motive, but these steps weren’t done for profitability, they were politically motivated as a way to decrease Democrats voting impact. 😡

Actually, not. It was “ordered” to be profitable and changed to a corporation in the 1960’s. That’s why postage has gone up and up.

@stephenmorton8017 — I did, but I see my comment was deleted, probably by folks like you who report comments they don’t like as misinformation.

@BittyVids — Keep in mind that the USPS has been loosing money for decades. Sadly I believe (not sure) that DeJoy has a golden Parachute clause like many executives. Eating if he gets terminated he pretty much gets the remainder of his contract at once.

@BittyVids — Listen to the video again, she confirms that it was converted to a “Corporation” in 1970. Doubt me just ask Google/Siri. The intent was to make it independent and profitable at that time, although there has been a few government cash infusions by the government to keep it afloat. Add too that with the adoption of Internet and email, mailings have dropped exponentially year by year. It is no longer considered a “Public Service” by anyone other than people who skipped history class.
