That's their choice. The whole country does NOT revolve around a minority. Even if the media attempts to make it so.

Doesn't "funny money" pay the bills?

Not right for everyone but few companies these days are offering pensions. Many municipal pensions are well under water and functionally bankrupt.

I find it really difficult to sort out the truth from fiction today... who do you really believe...everyone is pushing their own agenda and their own bias and pointing the finger at the other fellow

So, my statement was 99.13 percent accurate. Picky, picky.

The people who have previously worked for the post office pretty much all say that it is inefficiently managed and way behind the times technologically speaking.

If the govt expects it to stand on its own too feet they should get rid of the 75 year funding pension nonsense and probably allow people to get 401's and let it figure out what it needs to do its job in an efficient manner.

Agree
 

But right now is not the time to fix what has been limping along for a long time. If people vote in areas that have long lines and long waits they are endangering their health. And to slow down the mail I believe is illegal.

I guess you don't understand the concept of asset allocation. By the way, my 401Ks, which were completely portable, provided an excellent return over the years. And my employer did not fool anybody.

One should witness the abundance of WASTE and inefficiency that has become the norm in the Mail Handling facilities throughout our country. An overhaul is way overdue.

Claims that Americans rely on the United States Postal Service for Social Security benefits are invalid because the Social Security Administration stopped mailing paper checks in 2013.

Many people opt to have printed checks as they have no checking accounts. Takes money to have an account.
ENT cards aren’t always practical.

I don't think that paper checks are allowed anymore. You must sign up for direct deposit. Apparently, some people are grandfathered in.

I disagree
 

There is, and never has been, a policy to threaten employees for talking to anyone. Never before have USPS employees been threatened with answering questions from the press. Never before have they been threatened for talking to about their jobs. I know private companies get away with that nonsense, but the USPS is OUR, the American people, company and we have never said it was okay to muzzle OUR employees unless it threatened national security. I think anyone that defends silencing people is not cognizant of what America was founded upon. It wasn’t founded to allow a King decide who can talk and who they can talk to. This is tyranny and it’s shameful to defend the indefensible.

I am a retired USPS employee and I concur that it would be impossible to silence those workers.

This is nothing but a ploy....don't believe 99.999% of what you see in the media.

Wow! These people work for you and me. They were hired to deliver the mail, not to trash the Government, or to even comment on it. Why would you want them to badmouth their employer, who us, the taxpayers? If they don't agree with the Government policies, they should quit and get another job. How does it make any sense to hire Government employees and then encourage them to try to harm our country? And, the Post Office employees are smart enough to know that they cannot be terminated.
