March 10, 2025General Information / Local NewsPostal Service On Track And Targeted For Privatization
Various news outlets are reporting that the principal behind DOGE is pointing a crooked finger at both Amtrak and the US Postal Service.
This revelation comes on the heels of a Equity Report issued by Wells Fargo to their investors on the “positive optionality to UPS and FedEx to reorganize the Postal Service to a private entity (i.e., a privatized USPS).
Amtrak is a federal corporation, somewhat similar to USPS, and just like USPS was established in 1970 through Congressional action. Amtrak, however, is a for profit corporation intended to salvage the railroads with intercity service in only 46 states. While USPS re-established the Post Office Department and is a self sustaining quasi government enterprise with an obligation to provide universal mail service to the entire nation and 167 million addresses Monday to Saturday (and often on Sundays too).

March 3, 2025General Information / Local NewsThe Threat of Privatization!
All 17 years I worked for the Postal Service they threw privatization at us-nothing happened!” “Ah It will never happen it takes a 2/3 Constitutional vole in the Senate stop the fear mongering!” “What’s so bad If we go under Commerce then we will be real federal workers with better benefits!” “I add value to this company I won’t be touched?” “These changes are long over due!” “Privatizing will get rid of all the managers that bloat the service and streamline us-I’m all for it. “The way they run this place how could it hurt?” “This is just a tactic of the Union”!
The above comments mirror some of the misplaced comments circulating in the postal world regarding the current efforts of embedding the Postal Service into another federal department, a first step in privatizing large swath of postal operations. The Postal Service’s history is one where privateers have always decried the govem ment’s involvement in the movement and delivery of the nation’s mails and the monopoly it legally has granted by the Private Express Statutes.
