He has not a clue what he is talking about.
I worked nights, weekends and holidays for decades, and I worked like a dog.
Lifting heavy trays of mail and working in the filthiest of conditions.
I loaded and unloaded trucks and did every filthy job you can imagine.

I wonder who he thinks is collecting, processing and delivering 563 million pieces of mail each day, if not those lazy postal workers?

Oh, you mean the countless times I've been forced to go to the Post Office and seen people walk and work in slow motion is just my imagination?

The several times I had the door closed and locked in my face 2 or 3 minutes before 5PM when I had crucially important overnight packages to go out is my imagination, and the postal worker didn't have one ouncce of sympathy for me?

The frequent arrogant attitude of postal workers is my imagination?

That's why I almost entirely avoid the Post Office and use FedEx or UPS.

And why private companies took over 95% of that sector of delivery.

I'd like to see him say this to my husband who worked on the tarmac in two major airports, in both scorching heat and blistering cold, loading mail onto planes.
He did this for 30 years, many times working 10 hour days, 7 days a week, for months on end without a day off.

Well gosh, if someone says something on the internet, it must be true!

When I was a boy, we lived in a laike!

Luxury!

The average postal worker works moderate hours, has nearly 100% job security, and retires far earlier than the average American with a massive retirement and benefits package.
That's why Congress forced the Post Office to fund its mostly unfunded pension obligations; to prevent you from looking for another taxpayer bailout.

Clem couldn't have done it.
He's not man enough.

I love psychotic moonbat humor.

My work load, intensity and risks have far, far, far exceeded what postal workers put out.

And job security? I play entirely without a net.

And great job at cutting out the key part of my quote. Obviously you don't want anyone to see that.

Private companies generally devote roughly 40% of gross to salaries and retirement costs. The Post Office pays 65%.

That's a recipe for bankruptcy.
