Ummm let me just shed some light on the USPS. I worked for them briefly. Those trucks had OVER 1 million miles on them. They had no AC, poor ventilation and workers have frequently died in them due to heat stroke. I have no idea about the new vehicles, but all I’m saying is that if they cared about their workers, they would have gotten updated trucks decades ago. The trucks were also frequently being worked on, causing some carriers to carry extra mail to help out on the routes. It’s a horrible organization that needs to be bulldozed and restructured. The waste of money on new hires and the subsequent ease of firing is asinine.
I’ve worked here for a couple decades and you are right. The general public can’t even fathom how poorly run this place is.
And to your last point, in the last couple of years we’ve hired probably 40-50 new hires and like 5 of them still work for us. Turns out that if you pay people $18 per hour for very physical work, tell them to run, skip their breaks, sacrifice safety for speed, work super long hours, and then treat them like a piece of human garbage on top of that, most people won’t tolerate it. And the people that do tolerate it, they fire because they didn’t run fast enough

Funny how the parts of government specific to the constitution pay like crap and the rest are somehow protected. They have it backwards
