The USPS has hundreds of billions worth of prime real estate that trump wants to steal

Well, mail was nice while it lasted.

Reminder that the Post Office is only losing money because of a 2006 law that forces them to fund their retirement plan for 75 years in advance, which is an insane burden that no nother agency or private corporation undertakes. Also, even if it does lose money, it doesn't matter because the USPS isn't a business. It's a government service provided for the public good.

How long until "un-patriotic" mail from progressive institutions is no longer delivered? Democratic mail in ballots? Oopsies, right in the trash.

Biden after hearing this news:

Fire 200,000 federal workers.

Destroy tge USPS, obliterating snall businesses.

They really are doing everything they can to get labor costs down. This tight labor market these last few years must have been driving the upper class insane.

That makes me wonder about Amtrak.

Hmm.

• The Project 2025 stuff seems to mostly align with what's on the Heritage Foundation website. Looking at said website, they are not happy about Amtrak.

• Apparently Trump tried eliminating federal subsidies for long-distance Amtrak routes at the start of his first term and failed.

Nice! Now my mailbox won't be flooded with those pesky medical bills!

Just wait until the USPS is gone and all federal/tax docs have to be mailed via UPS or FedEx. You think it costs a lot to run the USPS? Just wait until a Duopoly can charge whatever they want. All the fuckers that voted for this are going to find out.

There is a reason only USPS delivers in rural America and the private companies use them for last mile delivery.

Take control= scuttling isn't it?

I'm guessing he didn't get a Valentine's Day Card from Musk, he blamed it being 'lost in the post' (even through he didn't send one because the love is all one-sided in that relationship) and The Grand High Orange One is destroying the post office out of spite.

Way to go DeJoy. Nice work you absolute twat waffle.

Downvoted, because fuck Jeff Bezos.

Honestly given how USPS is largely independent and even has their own form of law enforcement I suspect they may actually have thr resources required to outright oppose Trump. Also if Musk tries to just walk in and break shit they have the opportunity to do the funniest thing possible.
