All right, so... I want to go at this from the customer perspective first, because I think that's the best way to relate to people. I think by and large, people are losing faith in the post office. Either you have no idea what's going on or you don't care. And that's fine. I'd say before I joined, I didn't think of them at all.

You know, they're just the guy that shows up at my house every morning. A lot of people seem to think that the post office is going out of business. And our customers are facing increasingly long lines, misdelivered or lost mail, and an increase in postage for a service that is getting worse. People are paying more for worse service.

And it's easy to point out those issues from the outside and be rightfully upset at them. I do feel like we're doing a disservice to our customers. our customers, and I'm really not trying to attack them when I say that they're uninformed or clueless to the inner workings of the post office.

I do directly want to attack Congress and say that when they had pushed forward a bill called the Postal Accountability and Enhancement Act in 2006, which required the post office to pre-fund 100% of its retiree health benefits and liabilities 75 years into the future. What? So overnight, the post office was handed a $5.5 billion burden.

And that's where the whole, I don't know if you remember, I certainly wasn't conscious of it at the time, the Save Our Post Office stickers that were being sold and trying to fund the post office. And really, that's where the rhetoric of the post office is going under comes from. The other thing I want to point out is that we are quasi-federal. We actually accept nothing from taxpayer monies.

It says it's a service, but really the post office is ran as a business. We don't even get... because they don't need to. My local union president loves to remind us that the post office is a business that has a revenue of $78.2 billion. And he'll want me to stress that the 0.2 is extremely important because 0.2 of a billion is 20 million. They are not in jeopardy.

We are not going out of business. And the postmaster general, Louis DeJoy, He's the second highest paid public servant in America, just underneath the president of the United States.
