Summary
Nationwide protests erupted as postal workers opposed plans to privatize the USPS and cut 10,000 jobs.
The National Association of Letter Carriers (NALC) organized rallies in over 200 cities, condemning the proposed merger with the Commerce Department and collaboration with Elon Musk’s DOGE.
Lawmakers like Senators Dick Durbin and Tina Smith joined demonstrations, calling the changes unconstitutional.
USPS employees fear losing jobs and essential public services, especially in rural areas. Trump and Musk defend privatization as efficient, but critics argue it endangers vital community functions.
They won’t notice. Or they’ll be happy because they owned the libs. Or it’ll be Biden’s fault.
Regardless there will be zero introspection or self-critique because they are incapable.
They 100% will notice, because the rural areas (which tend to be the most deeply conservative) will be the most heavily impacted. The USPS is the only reason many rural houses can reliably and inexpensively get mail. Shipping rural mail via UPS or FedEx often costs $20-50, if they’ll deliver it at all; Many rural areas are redlined by the shipping companies, because the companies don’t want to send trucks an hour and a half out of the city just for a single package. From a cost standpoint, that’s a three hour round trip for very little benefit. They’ll literally refuse to deliver the package, and tell the customer that the address is outside of their service area.
Shipping to those same addresses via USPS costs like a dollar.
But yeah, they’ll just blame Biden and continue voting red.
Trump will come out and say that communist socialist fascist drag queens are blocking our beautiful mail with their Obama deep state radical leftist agenda and somehow his supporters will believe it even though it makes no sense.
rural areas are very unprofitable for any kind of delivery, even for cable its pretty expensive.
