  @gruber USPS in Philly is a joke. Some days mail comes at 8-9pm, other days I don’t get any mail delivered even if Informed Delivery shows I should have mail coming that day. Oh, and we rarely have the same delivery person anymore, it’s always someone new!

  @lanesy @Jason (No other private company or federal agency has been required to pre-fund pensions. Just the USPS. That mandate was pushed through hard by lobbyists wanting to privatize the postal service.)

  @keeltyc I’ll be co-opting the phrase “thank you for your service” going forward by saying it to everyone who serves me, including but not limited to fast food workers, retail employees, receptionist, USPS, customer service representatives, etc.

  @crazypnut I have about 7 USPS deliveries all saying arriving late. Been that way for a week at least.

  @primatoff @Jason Being self-made has nothing to do with it. We’re not living in the Stone Age, USPS actually has some interesting new features like Informed Delivery. And nobody is preventing UPS/FedEx/Amazon/Flexport from innovating in the delivery space.

  @gruber I’m in Philly too and had so many issues with USPS hand offs that Amazon support flagged UPS/Amazon as my primary carriers.

  @iAnonPatriot As they should have! I'm a former USPS employee and proud to have been one. It angers me when I see horrible people working for the service. It's hard to get terminated after the initial 90 day probation and that's a problem

  @BigDavesRants @CardPurchaser If under 20 its totally reasonable to ship ESE with semi rigid. I disclose this in my description. Mailed hundreds and no issue. The top loader jams up USPS too. That being said, if someone messages me and requests, I always oblige.

  Grok: along with the headline phrasing about suspending "pension payments to postal workers and civil servants." However, this is a slight exaggeration or simplification of the actual announcement. Here's the precise situation based on official USPS statements and multiple reports from April 9, 2026: - USPS is temporarily suspending only its employer contributions to the defined benefit portion of the Federal Employees Retirement System (FERS) annuity (the traditional pension part). - This is not suspending: - Employees' own payroll deductions/contributions into FERS (those continue and are still sent to the Office of Personnel Management). - Payments to current retirees (their annuity checks are not affected in the short term). - Contributions to the Thrift Savings Plan (TSP) — the 401(k)-style portion, including both employee and employer automatic/matching contributions. - Employer contributions to Social Security. - The move is expected to free up about $2.5 billion in cash for the current fiscal year (by stopping ~$200 million biweekly employer payments to OPM for FERS). - USPS describes it as a short-term cash conservation step due to a severe financial crisis and warnings that the agency could run out of cash by February 2027 without reforms or additional measures (like proposed stamp price increases). This is similar to a temporary suspension USPS did back in 2011 during another liquidity crunch. Unions like NALC and APWU have noted it has no immediate impact on current or future retirees' benefits, as those are protected by law—the funding mechanism is just being paused on the employer side for now. The post's wording ("suspend pension payments to postal workers and civil servants") can sound scarier than the reality, which is why some replies in the thread express confusion or alarm about retirees not getting paid. In truth, it's targeted at future funding obligations rather than stopping outgoing checks to existing pensioners. USPS has long faced structural issues, including legacy pre-funding requirements for retiree health benefits from the 2006 Postal Accountability and Enhancement Act, declining mail volumes in some areas, and rising costs. This is one stopgap while pushing for congressional action. If you'd like, I can pull more details from the official USPS release or explain how FERS works for postal employees.

  @macher_de_nass @firearmblog I will believe that when I see it. Did you hear that the USPS will lose 20% of their Amazon delivery contract? I would expect their prices to rise not fall as a result of that.

  @USPS Call the listed number at the Columbia, SC office, and you get a recording to leave a message. 8037334643. You might or might not get a return call—time to privatize the postal service.

  A green environmental story. I ordered an item online. The product origin address is 16 miles from my delivery point. The USPS was/is the shipper. The item was flown 1100 miles to the Pacific Northwest, so it can now fly back to be delivered, who knows when. They turned a 26 mile trip into over 2200 miles. Efficiently in action! 😜

  @FanhomeUS I like it better when you used @Amazon doing your deliveries, instead of USPS. Very quick delivery from Kansas instead of Ohio to here.

  @FOX26Houston That would be like deciding @HEB customer service was bad, so you replaced it with the same people who brought you the @USPS or IRS. First class mail- what a joke. It gets there when it gets there, IF they decide not to lose it. Government run mail service is bad enough- I don't want them messing with groceries.

  USPS Raids Its Own Pension Fund The postal service is burning retirement savings to buy time Congress won't give it. $118bn in losses since 2007. First-class mail — the agency's best earner — has dropped to volumes not seen since the 1960s. The borrowing limit sits at $15bn, a cap Congress set in 1992 and never raised. USPS maxed it out years ago. Postmaster General David Steiner, a former FedEx board member who took over last July, told Congress the agency could run dry as soon as October. His predecessor's turnaround plan promised to break even by 2024. USPS posted a $9.5bn loss instead. Amazon is also pulling back. The company is reducing the volume it ships through USPS — right as the agency auctions off last-mile delivery access to survive. Steiner's pitch to Congress: Hike the price of stamps from 78 cents to 95 cents or more. He also wants the borrowing limit raised and pension funds invested beyond Treasury bonds. An 8% surcharge on packages kicks in on April 26. Cutting delivery days is on the table… But federal law still requires six-day service to 169 million addresses. The GAO's verdict is blunt: The business model is "unsustainable." USPS has been on its High Risk list since 2009. And starting this year, it owes an estimated $750m in new retiree health care payments — costs Congress mandated but never funded. *** Pension fund as petty cash. Peak America. ***
