Why we are (partly) here at this moment in time, because passed the Post Office accountability act , on Xmas eve, nobody was paying attention. They shoved this "Law" into the massive budget that no one would read.This LAW says that the PO will have to "PRE-FUND ALL FUTURE EMPLOYEES, AND FUTURE RETIREES, HEALTH CARE COSTS 75 YEARS INTO THE FUTURE."
AND the LAW says, "the PO will do this in 10 years time, deadline 2016." This Law was Bush and Congress giving a big fuck you to the PO. IE. we will dismantle the PO, and sell off the properties and assets.
There is no other office, government, private sector, small business, ngo, NO ONE ELSE IN THE WHOLE WORLD is required to "pre-fund" their future employees health insurance. FOR SEVENTY FIVE YEARS INTO THE FUTURE. People who are not actually born yet, the PO has to "pre-fund" "their" health insurance.
Ain't got shit to do with amazon, been planned and implemented for 15 years now, circling the drain. Amazon and PO won't tell you, "that 50lb bag of "chewey dog food"? Amazon don't deliver that, they "hand it off" to the PO. Let the PO people break their damn back, not amazon".
They won't talk about the contracts/memos of understanding about "last mile delivery", where amazon FED-EX AND UPS, hand packages to PO (sure, for a price) to deliver to individual residences. "Last mile delivery" is NOT profitable to fedex, ups, amazon, so they won't deliver. Just hand it off to PO.
Search for yourself, "PO accountability act 2006". There is a reason we are here at this point. The Congress (House) passed PO relief act in 2020, to get rid of idiot ass (75 year pre-fund) Law. McConnell (rino) let the bill rot, on his desk, would not bring it up. NOW, "House" has to bring it up again, to be revoted on, again. No idea if the Senate will take it up.
