Well that package evidently is still sitting in NJ as it wasn't delivered today and there are to other scans showing any activity...

I don’t know if any experts who haven’t recommend masking up since April.


Not so much about masking up but as to which are best and do they really help as much as distancing et al...After all, the OP wasn't about masking up but the efficiency of different types...

There is so much conflicting information out there that who knows what is actually true?

The complaints made by the public about the efficiency of the Postal Service will fall by the wayside if the agency is privatized as is the intent of the some politicians. The public will miss the Postal Service, such as it is now.


So, you think the UPS and FedEx are poorly run?

It might depend on if you are in a key state, and yes I am in AZ and we are in a key state and yes it is slower. Strange how that happens.


Mine is slower and I'm in Georgia...As I said before, it seems to depend on the state it comes from or passes thru. Stuff coming from some states I have no issues with, but New Jersey or California I do...

This is a current happening, as in now!! Not 2015, the performance was adequate (I do feel for anyone who loses their job through circumstances they didn't create - been there myself) until the current shutdowns. Distribution centers change with the population and demographic changes "generally", as it is about need, flow and profitability.
As for now - They were all about giving away several trillion dollars to big business (many that deserved nothing), but couldn't spend a couple billion to right the PO. The FED hasn't done right by the PO in some time....problem is, EVERYBODY suffers.

Those were loans meant to be paid back by those companies. In the case of a Federal entity, the taxpayers would be on the hook

"If the costs of this retiree health care mandate were removed from the USPS financial statements, the Post Office would have reported operating profits in each of the last six years." That is patently not true if you were to take into account underfunded retirement costs...

This was a manufactured emergency so the Post Office could be privatized.
FYI:
In 2006, Congress passed a law that imposed extraordinary costs on the U.S. Postal Service. The Postal Accountability and Enhancement Act (PAEA) required the USPS to create a $72 billion fund to pay for the cost of its post-retirement health care costs, 75 years into the future. This burden applies to no other federal agency or private corporation.
If the costs of this retiree health care mandate were removed from the USPS financial statements, the Post Office would have reported operating profits in each of the last six years. This extraordinary mandate created a financial “crisis” that has been used to justify harmful service cuts and even calls for postal privatization. Additional cuts in service and privatization would be devastating for millions of postal workers and customers.
In its December 2018 report, President Trump’s Task Force on the United States Postal Service reaffirmed current rules related to postal retiree health benefits, calling it “part of a mandate for postal self-sustainability.” However, the Task Force also recognized that the aggressive and accelerated timetable for funding the mandate has proved unworkable. They call for past deficits to be “restructured with the payments re-amortized with new actuarial calculation based on the population of employees at or near retirement age.”

So, you would want your children and grandchildren to pick up the cost of pension shortfalls. Or would you rather those pensioners get reduced or no retirement benefits? . The USPS, like Chicago and many other major cities have major retirement funding shortfalls. The USPS, being a Federal entity, can have legislation drafted to address those shortfalls so that the taxpayer is not on the hook for them. Chicago and other cities cannot. They would have to raise taxes to cover them.

I spotted a Red Spotted Purple Butterfly laying eggs yesterday (8/20/20) on some Cherry leaves as I was walking my dog here in North Georgia-Atlanta Metro. Had my camera today

Those neck gaitors are meant to be folded over on itself when used. I wonder if they did that in that study...I was sent a cloth mask by my healsth insurer. Holding iit up to a light showed light penatrating thru it. I have COPD and many of those masks make it difficult to breathe thru.
