I’m absolutely going to start calling it the Mailcat, and there’s nothing anyone can do to stop me!
'K, but I answer to that name, so use it judiciously.
Until the armed mail man police come for you lol
Remember when the USPS wasted money sponsoring a bicycle team racing in France ? Pepridge Farm does
They had hallucinations that bike-riding mailmen might actually solve their profitability issues.
@@harrymu148 so why advertise for the USPS in a foreign country
The post office is decent at delivering bills, letters and junk mail.
But they're absolutely horrible when it comes to delivering packages. When given the option, I will only ever order from people who ship via FedEx or UPS.
Why? Because every single time I have ordered something that was shipped by normal mail, I have had to go and pick it up from the post office itself, while FedEx, UPS, and Amazon will all just leave it at my door if it doesn't fit in my mailbox.
Unfortunately, depending on where you live, you may have no choice but to receive from USPS, even if who you order from ships via FedEx, UPS, or Amazon. In fact, if you live in a rural area, odds are that only USPS will deliver to you. Why? Because all those other delivery services are profit-driven, they will only operate where they can conceivably make enough deliveries at once in an area - or in others words, if there are too few people, they ain't delivering.
USPS, as part of their government-mandated monopoly, _must_ deliver to *_ALL_* addresses, regardless of potential profitability or lack thereof. In fact, to those unprofitable areas, all those other services hand those packages over. So yeah, if you get a package from USPS but it has any of the other services' marking on it, that is why.
Are there issues to be had with the clauses in USPS' monopoly? Sure. However, if they have to start operating with a profit - and bear in mind, they used to do a whole bunch of other services besides mail and packages before privatization stripped them of those (there was actually a period where USPS was the most trusted and successful banking service, and, unlike what banks today do, USPS did _NOT_ do things like tack on fees wherever they could) - you will see what few services they still provide - i.e. mail and packages - cease altogether in the most rural areas. You know what else happens should that come to be? No more mail-in voting, because under that setup, the ballots will no longer come, and anyone who lives in those areas, regardless of their political leanings (and remember, these areas tend to lean conservative), will find themselves unable to vote.
So yeah, all these efforts to privatize, if not outright shut down, USPS, they are part of a concerted effort to strip voting rights from people. Does this make your complaints about USPS invalid? Of course not, so complain away. Are you better off with USPS as a guaranteed option, even if it can be inconvenient to deal with at times? Absolutely. Can that inconvenience be ended? Absolutely again, but if you want that to happen, you need to pay attention to who is looking to be put in charge of the USPS, because otherwise, you might be stuck with someone who has quite the vested financial interest in destroying the USPS so that their business can make more money by charging you more for less.
So does this mean that "The Cheeto" was right? 😏
*Insert Jack Sparrow meme* "I do that quite a lot, yet people are always surprised".
@@ilovejettrooper5922 Propaganda is a heck of drug. Even factual results aren't enough to beat it.
It’s almost like the “Cheeto” recognized the need to get rid of the monopoly…
Government agencies typically maintain their own fuel depots. It's the same reason you've never seen a cop car fill up at a Chevron.
Bigger cities have their own fuel stations but smaller cities go to any gas station usually around 930 am, as a former city carrier those LLVs suck typically no heat no ac you fight hyperthermia and hypothermia every season walking around 20 miles every day unless your lucky enough to be on a mounted route
Brutal
During summer time any mailman private or usps plz put some water and Gatorade or snacks outside. I always did and placed a sign saying "Please take as much as you want" Trust me they really appreciate it. ☺️
They idea of having multiple options would actually make things cheaper because companies have to compete with each other's prices
Some people don't understand competition. They just want big brother to take over.
@@patricktennant1585 yup....and that's how we end up where we are right now
Unless they form a cartel of course
No having multiple postal services would force prices down because they’d be all trying to out bud each other with the lowest prices. That’s how the system actually works. Deregulation in that matter is a good thing.
Fair enough
I saw a mail truck at a gas station in Searcy, Arkansas here while back. I think the USPS needs to NOT be a monopoly.
This is like my 5th time watching this vid, and only now did I catch a mistake. 6:40 He says ''You're allowed to use FedEx, or USPS''
He meant to say UPS not USPS, because the USPS IS the postal service.
He also called both the Spirit and Raider "B-21", but 🤷🏼♂️
I feel like car companies should have been able to compete in getting the mailtruck down .
Monopolies are not good. The USPS needs a reorganization and a privatization.
Before the merger Grumman built the Apollo lunar module. That is the most iconic vehicle in history.
He doesn’t mention we also have the FFV alongside the LLV but it looks pretty similar but I forget who makes the FFV
I drove a mail truck for a minute. use the company cc at the closest gas station to the P.O.
I still have my father's Avon cologne bottle that is shaped like a mail truck. They were all the rage in the 60s? 70s?
While I can't know for sure the USPS has its own gas stations, police do. Safety thing. My guess is yes.
That's awesome! I used to have a collection of old cologne/perfume bottles. They were super cool. I wonder if my mom still has them
As far as the gas station goes I don’t know for sure but when I was a car salesman in 2017-19ish one dealership just had a deal with a gas station like a quarter mile away where we would just tell them who we were and fill up then sign the receipt and they would automatically charge the dealership and if we couldn’t go there or were transferring cars to another dealership then could just pay at whatever gas station we had to go to and get reimbursed and the other dealership had janky gas pumps on site but we could also do the same as the first dealership. Some companies and I think most cops have a dedicated gas credit card to use at whatever gas station to fill up also
Your gas station Mystery Machine comment 😂😂
I have seen a long haul semi mail truck at the truck stop but never a local one.
never once saw a mail truck, aka llv at a gas depot
Most government vehicles like trash trucks and dump trucks have a special gas station they go to and they usually have a gas card to use instead of there own money
And those who don’t study history are doomed to repeat it
14:20 I laughed too damn hard at that😂
You do realize that increasing competition lowers prices right? Seriously monopolies are always bad for consumers, that's why good presidents try to disband government run monopolies.
Loved the commentary on top of what my boy had to say….you got my sub! 😊👍🏼
Thank you
Wait, Trump tried to get rid of UPS?
😂😂
I think at the end he's confusing effect with intent. US education emphasizes math and science over history and civics because of hysterical fear in the 1990s and 2000s of "falling behind" on STEM testing compared to other countries.
In particular, the 'other countries' were Japan and China. Now THOSE countries have tin-foil-hat-appropriate reasons to emphasize STEM.
Nevertheless, I desperately, desperately want to see good humanities education re-emphasized in American secondary education. I don't expect to see it, though.
You people are so wierd cuz one time at work I said "Am going Postal" and everyone started screaming a praying out of nowhere like it was the end of times, then I clarified that I just want to go to the Postal Service cuz I need to retrive a package, back then my english wasnt that good yet you are some wierd people.
That we are 😂
"Do Women Know Men's Bodies?!" 21 minutes, wonder if you know all of the facts?
-😱🤯
The hell you on about, blood?
okay, I've been looking for this, and thus far I have found videos that are 10 min or 18 minutes but not one that's 21 min or with that exact title.
