no, i am saying most people who are criticizing the usps have no idea about rural carriers and their own vehicles which, if i am right, use gas.
because people will not understand why so much gas is being used by usps related vehicles, they think great, just give each carrier an electric van and problem solved.
I don't see it that way. Every incremental advancement towards cleaner energy is meaningful. 250,000 postal vehicles is a pretty big deal, and would be welcomed. No one expects USPS to go carbon neutral over night ....
False equivalencies much? Are we gonna count on the PO to defend our country now? Heck, they can't even get the mail to the right place half the time.
I have no problem with the PO upgrading their fleet over time, certainly not in bulk, and certainly not with vehicles that cost $50K per pop and will be in the scrap yard in 6 years. If its gonna be in the scrap yard anyway, they should be buying the best value proposition that they can...certainly not these defense contractor monstrosities.
It would be interesting now to see the math on their financial decision to close the sorting center in G'ville now that Diesel is $6 a gallon.
These companies trucking the mail are privately contracted...unless some gov't agency forces them they aren't going to be buying any of Elon's stuff until their financial analysis tells them to.
they will not close gainesville due to the fact that we deliver mail from cedar key to inverness to melrose, etc. they will not send 30 or so small trucks from jacksonville to deliver, we will always be a hub even if the stop processing the small amount of mail we do know
you are right, the usps contracts it's delivery by trailer out, in most cases it ends up being a disaster, drivers don't show up, etc. have always said we need our own fleet, but hey, i am just a peon, not a guy who is 20 years removed from the day to day operations.
time for the daily gas buddy price update, 4.98 and climbing and what does inept joe do, go on tv with that ass of asses jimmy kimmel.
I don't disagree but it is what it is at this point. At least charging stations are becoming more prevalent and people are starting to accept some change.
It’s time to put gas prices in perspective, high gas prices are nothing new. https://thehill.com/news/wire/35167...-now-but-theyve-been-worse-before-heres-when/
