Newly revealed documents show that changes imposed by President Donald Trump’s postmaster general have resulted in delivery delays — and wind up costing more than the system they were aimed at reforming.

Trump donor Louis DeJoy, newly installed to oversee the U.S. Postal Service, has ordered operational changes to cut overtime in a bid to save on cost overruns, but postal workers say the reorganization has only made things worse, reported Reuters.

“It is on the ground costing more in manpower and man-hours than it is saving,” Kimberly Karol, president of the Iowa Postal Workers Union.

Mail carriers are now required to leave on their routes first thing in the morning, with only packages and letters that were sorted the night before, according to one internal memo obtained by Reuters.

5. My thoughts?

They have a grand plan to take this election to court. (even though THEY are the cause of it all) The strain on our court system could cause LOTS of problems! Hope i'm wrong, BUT they will do ANYTHING to maintain control!

[soothsayer]

7. They're just throwing wrenches in the works wherever they can

Since they can’t win honestly.

We need overwhelming numbers so there’s no question about it.

10. I ordered an item from Amazon Prime 2 days ago....Supposed to be here today before 9pm

according to tracking, it arrived in town at 1:47 am today....to be handed over to USPS...just got a notice it will arrive tomorrow or next day

If that's happening across the country, amazon won't put up with it for long

[LisaL]

15. Yep, I don't think amazon will put up with this for long.

So USPS will lose business.
Expecting a package tomorrow to be delivered by USPS. Have doubts that I will see it tomorrow. The hand off from Amazon to USPS seems to be talking several days now.

16. part of the plan

13. As usual ham-hands is misplaying his gambit. Too early, too obvious.

When we have a real government they can pass legislation to revitalize the postal service.
They’ve been neglected and abused long enough.
