How artificial intelligence will reduce population starting now

You have no idea. None. Zero. I have family who work in the USPS realm, also been there, done that. Dude, you have no idea.
The worst people are the elderly. They believe the world is still low population, routes have a few dozen people, and they are all special and thought of by name. The truth is, routes are enormous, postal workers are mostly underpaid, taken advantage of, and many are killed on their routes because people are stupid, careless, hateful, and in a rush or couldn't care less about who delivers the mail. They have hundreds and hundreds of Amazon packages to deliver on top of all the mail, work long hours many times searching for stupid and hateful people's homes with no markings on where they live, no house numbers, rabid dogs attacking them, pissing down rain or freezing snow, every damn day and even Sundays. They often have only 1 day off per week, that's only if they are lucky enough to have a relief worker, and many offices don't...some have to run two routes, often blind with no support. Vehicles breaking down daily, those LLV's have no ABS, and accidents are so frequent it's like an episode of 24 with Keefer Sutherland with the drama and problems.

The relief is worse than anything, they are underpaid (A McDonald's employee makes twice as much) and have crap healthcare, they are treated like trash, so they don't stick around. Wonder why your mail is always messed up? Because the USPS itself is run by idiots who care nothing about the employees doing all the work. They only care about the bottom line with what revenue they can suck in. Workman's comp, good luck. So many get injured and tossed to the curb. They are too poor to fight the USPS legal team. Every rural relief carrier has to buy their own car to deliver mail to rural homes, did you know this?

Dude, there's so much more, I don't even want to continue. USPS carriers are HATED all over this country these days, but more people than ever just *click* - *click* - *click* buying from the internet on their phones every day, no clue about how much of a pain it is to deliver endless packages all across the place every day to the same people addicted to buying stuff they don't even need. And THEN there's the mail. You have no idea how many hours every morning goes into just preparing the mail, the magazines, the stupid endless junk sent to all these elderly people who have no clue, no idea whatsoever they are being scammed and taken advantage of. The right wing Trump supporters belonging to 275 mailing groups is just the best! Yeah, they get about 10 lbs. of mail every day -each. And a route can have 500 to 600 or more on them. City routes are often so bad they have to force several people to run "relays" taking packages all across town, back and forth, all day every day.

But your mail got screwed up. Waaaaaa.

Some Postal Workers love their routes, care about their customers, and truly want to always do a great job. I know many of them, have been honored to hear their stories and watch them in action. But the cranky old senile people who think they are special and moan every day about some mixed up mail...have no damn clue.

 

I didn't mean to insinuate you were senile, but there are many of them. I get it, you want what you want. There are some great stories I've heard.
Here's the thing, you believe your mail is so important it's worth all this complaining and effort, right? And how much do you pay for the USPS service? A stamp here and there? Did you know that the USPS isn't funded by your tax dollars at all?

But at the end of the day, it's just your mail, right? What is that compared to a life? You pay nothing for the service every day, most people never spend a dime on USPS services. They just order Amazon or anything else, it gets delivered by USPS because their services are cheap labor. An Amazon worker in my area makes $30 per hour, most aren't English speaking or white at all. And none of them have to sort mail for hours every day on top of delivering packages. So, for about half the price, you get a USPS delivery and you wonder why a letter is sometimes mixed up? I would definitely stop mailing those important bills, stop worrying about jury duty because that's just ridiculous, and why wouldn't you take responsibility and mail your own important letters? Stop assuming the USPS is a qualified service for your business in the first place. If more people simply paid their bills online, we wouldn't even be having this discussion! I mean, seriously, it's 2025 if you're still paying bills with stamps, you've got a serious problem!

It's just strange to me. The world has changed, but so many older people don't get it. This isn't Mayberry any more. And good luck finding good help these days. Most people don't even want to work for a living. I always try to be kind to my postal workers where I live, they have it pretty rough. The last thing they need is some cranky pants yelling at them because of a newspaper or letter going missing or delivered wrong.

 

Don't be a retard. The USPS was privately owned once before. And the mail isn't meant to be delivered for free. You're telling people to essentially work for free because you want your letters. It's not our fault you are too incapable of using online resources or pay bills electronically. You are therefore a person too old to be given a second thought...fleeting. Once you and those like you are gone, this world will bask in the glory of everything electronic and easy.

And seriously, mail is an antiquated system. We simply do not need it. We can easily send packages and just maintain that service. For everything "letter" related, get email. You either get with the times, or stagnate and perish in stupidity.

 

Silly bean. I said get rid of mail because old people are mostly senile and heavily medicated like zombies, plus they aren't going to be around too long. We still need to deliver parcels and there aren't enough robots, drones and resources to have them take over any time soon. Seriously, many people order 75 lb. bags of dog food every week, fitness equipment, you name it. Ain't seeing any Boeing drones delivering that kind of gear any time soon!
