Ok this is probably overdue but let me explain what the post office nonsense is all about. It’s about bailing out the postal union’s unfunded pension fund and now it’s about giving trial lawyers more opportunity to sue the post office and make more money. I’ve ranted about the trial lawyers association before. They are a major contributor to the Dems and it seems that everything the Dems are proposing has a piece in it to allow more lawsuits.

First, the post office has more than enough funding to get them through the election. The claim that they don’t is just one more Dem lie. It’s one more unfounded conspiracy theory. And I have already pointed out the nonsense about the removal of mailboxes. Obama Biden removed 14,000 of them without a peep from the left.

Second, let me tell you what the changes being made at the post office really are and remember that the new Postmaster General was chosen for his expertise in logistics. The post office pays a tremendous amount of overtime every year because of the way they organized their work day and the union loves it. Under the way things were done, and apparently will continue to be done until after the election, a mailman would come in in the morning and spend hours sorting mail and other things and then go out and deliver the mail in the afternoon and invariably they had to work overtime to finish delivering the mail. However it is amazing that on Friday and Saturday the mail gets delivered earlier. I can’t say that I have seen it here but in Maryland it was not unusual to see a postal vehicle parked under the shade somewhere.

The way that was supposed to be implemented was a reverse of the old system. The carriers would come in the morning and pick up their presorted mail and go out and deliver it and then come back in the afternoon and sort the nexts day’s mail and then go home on time. The new system might result in a small percentage of mail being delivered a day later than the old system but saves I believe I saw at least a billion dollars a year. I don’t know about you but I don’t have anything delivered by snail mail that is time sensitive. If I need to send something that is time sensitive I use priority or express mail.

Lastly let me expound on what I mentioned at the beginning, Pelosi’s new bill has a provision that makes it easier to sue the post office, just like her police reform bill removed qualified immunity from protecting police officers. And I have to call out nasty Nancy for bringing her caucus back to vote on the bogus post office bailout but couldn’t deal with the real problem of unemployment for people who are out of work because the government took their jobs away to fight a hysterically overhyped flu.

Always follow the money. The postal union is a major contributor to the Dems and the trial lawyers are one of the biggest contributors to them. They care about the bucks and not you. This is all about stealing an election they can’t win or making an excuse to continue to delegitimize a Trump victory.

PS – The other recent area where Pelosi is pimping for the trial lawyers is that she is refusing to agree with Republicans that businesses need some immunity from lawsuits by people claiming they caught whu flu there. It would make reopening the economy much easier and of course the Dems don’t want that.
