USPS made adjustment in operations from Franklin’s operation and transformed into its current form in 1971 under the Postal Reorganization Act.
CHANGE is our constant as humans, as is our stable traditions of commerce and market. Yet in reality nothing is absolutely stable or secure. There always those big hiccups down these rivers.
The US Post Office was one of our first examples of national, commercial services. It stayed pretty well run, even, brought in the first Kennedy Program (allowing “handicap” persons to work), with the lowest cost for mail in the world.
THEN a change of communication and commerce came into being like a rapid break in a dam. Over a billion people a day were now e-mailing, even the pie and cheese cards were not being sent, through this massive mortar, brick, and people network. This was already taking place in 1987; the USPS has been forced to give up residential first class mail. One that was perfected after WW II, the young couldn’t care less. So what will be our social tradition, many elders are transforming themselves.
The pension system as we know it is dead. With all wage contracts being frozen up to 3 years. The USPS will probably be next to convert: forcing all employees into a personal IRA or 401 in the nearest Credit Union, and direct deposit only please!
The amount of deployment and attrition of employees has increased since 1991, demanding now: part time (4 hrs a day), “non-traditional” workers, and written into the 21st Century Wage/Health Contracts. The 50 thousand job ($50,000) is no more for the non-managerial and top has been downsized when duplications are taken out of the process. Streamlined Management and Functions; got big automata machines for flats, and kiosks; the question still will be: what is it you are selling and consumer’s attraction to this new Postal Service. For us elders, customers service will probably re- introduce sales trucks, just like getting your daily ice cream. WTF! This is the new Post Office Store, grandpa.

The resurrection of dead ideology comes with accompanying theology, and, many folks don’t understand even educated blacks. I am proud to see, intelligent men in our faith called Ifá/ òrìşà, yet; that are not requisitions for independent and present-future, thinking. The Afro I know is quite a utilitarian. I guess they had to be coming out of Africa. Orisa and Akonedi pots have been buried because they ain’t prosperous, ergo; what is has to be, no matter the form. It is a perennial story, till we no longer exist, that is Olodumare’s throw on the mat!
If human nature does not change; consciousness does, as like information from evolutionary matter. The idea of Cardinals’ and Bishops in any formal religion should be understood by conscious folks, the story has been told. We have entered a different planet, again; for in many ways we are all g_ds at play in this Mysterious Cosmos.
