This is my post office I have driven 30 minutes to another post office just not to deal with these people. Usually one person working and three wondering around back.
Love postal audits but If I could offer a bit of advice: Dont try to hold a conversation with an employee while they are helping another customer because that could easily be considered interfering with their operations there ( which can easily be used to throw you out of the post office)
As a 12 year USPS employee I am ashamed for some of these people. Where I work we've been briefed more than once to simply leave people alone who are filming. Personally, I'd make a point to give a fist bump to any professional 1A auditor. 👊👍
Postal employees are under tons of pressure, they're under staffed and management is usually some AA hire with a chip on their shoulder, morale is at an all time low.
It is just you. If you don’t understand the point, you should crawl in a hole and remain silent until you learn something. Let’s start with learning the definition of civil service out of the abstract.
These people act ashamed to work there and probably rightfully so They have terrible service and most of them are rude as hell They loose people's mail etc all the damn time and here they are trying to violate this man's rights Their ignorance of the law is no excuse These idiots should be fired immediately HFTCD
Funding is irrelevant. While USPS is unique in that it tries to be self funding, they still get funds from the government. But like I said, it doesn't matter if they were self funding and profit making. They are a government body, they are not private, and congress shall make no law abridging the right of the free press. If there was a constitutional way for the USPS to limit the free press, or require permission, in public areas, they would. They can't. So they don't. And specifically calve out 'news purposes' from commercial and advertising which they do restrict in their poster 7.

USPS DOES RECEIVE TAX FUNDS. FEDERAL BUDGET TREATMENT OF THE POSTAL SERVICE .“THE POSTAL SERVICE DOES INDEED RECEIVE AN ANNUAL APPROPRIATION (GENERALLY AROUND $100 MILLION) from Congress that appears in the president’s budget every year. This is to compensate the Postal Service for providing free or subsidized mailing privileges to groups that Congress and the Administration agree deserve support from the taxpayers”
Every year they get on average about 18 billion dollars. Not 100 million! Look it up. Since 2007 the post office has collected roughly 78 billion in tax revenue to keep it afloat.
Who cares what YOU think? You are such a rocket scientist aren't you? Have you spoken with the the postal inspector, there are certain limitations on what can be video taped!

They leave a huge pile of mail out in public for anyone to see and get upset because you have the ability to look at it and record it. That is postal employee logic for you. And yes they do get federal bailout money because they can’t sustain themselves on postage.
If only the postal service, a public good that actually benefits the us citizen got as big of a budget as all the police departments in this country, we probably wouldn’t have to deal with all the bull shit that comes with the postal service today.
So that whole operation is funded by selling postage stamps, that's the first I've ever heard that, is every post office like that cuz I always thought it was funded by the public by tax dollars
@@MrButchersTube USPS lost $87 billion over the past 14 fiscal years-including $9.2 billion in fiscal year 2020-and expects to lose $9.7 billion in fiscal year 2021.
6:15 - The reason they won't give you a piece of paper, and want you to go online to file a complaint is simple. The online world isn't regulated by government. It's regulated by corporations. So if you file a complaint online, it isn't worth the paper it's written on.
I guess if we want them to do their jobs and keep our info private, we need to go in with cameras!? All that mail sat there until you went with camera!
Denver Metro Audits if a surgeon went into an operating room unprepared they would deserve criticism, same holds for Auditors/members of the press. As an example the post officer took 25 billion of taxpayer money in August of 2020. Since the 25 Billion is fungible, yes his salary was paid by the taxpayers of the USA. The buildings he earns his livelihood in, the postal vehicles he drives and the postal machines he operates are all owned by We The People. The USPS is an agency in the Executive branch of the Federal Government which is why they are Federal employees. The arrogance of USPS employees, they want the benefits and protections of being public employees but none of the accountability that goes with it.
@@cynthiaspillman5862 yes they are all the billions of dollars the taxpayers give to the USPS is fungible, you can't say it goes to fund other things but paychecks are paid by stamps. That idea is just false and repeated by postal employees that want the protections of being government employees without having to be accountable to the taxpayers.
@@cynthiaspillman5862 Stop listening to the BS the union is telling you and do your research. There was no loan, a loan denotes that you would pay the taxpayers back. All the non leased building the USPS uses every Machine every vehicle it drives is own by the US taxpayers, how much Rental does the USPS pay?
@@cynthiaspillman5862 "assuming whom and where I get my facts " on the contrary after reading your posts I know you have NO facts. The second you denied the taxpayers giving 25 Billion to the USPS in August of 2020 you had no facts or credibility on this subject. "Where did I say loan?" You are the one that brought up the notion that it was a loan. Here is what you said: "and tells you, the public that they are loaning it." are you also going to deny this like everything else?
@@cynthiaspillman5862 I posted your exact wording, you are the one that mentioned "loaning" not me. You said "and tells you, the public that they are loaning it." We the people own the post office. We own the buildings or leases, the machines and vehicles The billions of dollars we gave to the USPS last year is fungible so it is false to say It went to everything but salaries.
If the option of keeping or eliminating the US postal ever came to a vote, I would vote to shut them down. It's a service that can be handled 100% by the private sector.
Have any of you who want to shut down the USPS ever compared its rates with UPS, FedEx, etc.? You'd be complaining about the costs as soon as the private sector took over!
@@peterfreitag2756 the fact that FedEx, UPS and DHL have managed to stay in business even when USPS is a "cheaper" alternative says that people are willing to pay more for a reliable and better service. We live in a digital age and the bulk of correspondence is done electronically. It just doesn't make sense to have government run agency to provide limited services. They are running at a loss. Better to bailout & shutdown today than later.
Leaving parcels on the counter is not secure. Not only for private data, but for those with bad intentions. Usually there is a canvas container behind the counter in which they are out of sight and out of grab. I guess the postal workers felt caught in their uncommon treatment of post parcels and letters, and reacted aggressive because it was recorded. In all, not a very professional location.
I always told amagwhatever press to come do Brighton to do the armory post office police department he never did I hope you consider Brighton to do the audits I love this stuff they idiots
What is an AUDIT? It is one way to keep check on our government officials. You are definitely not in the conference room anymore. We the People are the Overlords and Masters of our SERVANTS, government. Look at it in comparison to the TV show "Undercover BOSS." Without revealing identity, the undercover boss (auditor) checks up on their employees (government) to grade the merit of their service. In auditing, 1A gives the auditor greater access than does 2A auditing, although one may exercise as many rights in parallel as they choose. A constitutionally protected activity, in and of itself, cannot be converted into a crime. To further your understanding of 1A, read below and please do your own research as well. Photography/Videography from PUBLIC view: Public & Publicly accessible spaces. First Amendment is recorded and enumerated in the founding documents of these United States of America. This is only one of the rights afforded to all people. These rights predate all government. Government, with consent of the governed (We the People), has been allowed to place appropriate Time, Place & Manner restrictions upon these rights. 1A Reads: Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. 39 CFR § 232.1 federal.elaws.us United States Postal Service maintains Poster 7: Rules and Regulations Governing Conduct on Postal Service Property. Various aspects of certain rights are restricted within it. US Department of Homeland Security Federal Protective Service OPERATIONAL READINESS ORDER March 30, 2018 defines restrictions upon photography outside & inside Federal Buildings. TSA does not prohibit photographing, videotaping or filming at security checkpoints, as long as the screening process is not interfered with or sensitive information is not revealed. There is no such thing as "PRESS credentials" issued by government. Your Press Pass comes directly from 1A itself. In general, to be trespassed from PUBLIC/publicly accessible property REQUIRES a primary offence. In general, you may record whatever your eyes can see from PUBLIC & publicly accessible areas so long as your implied right of access remains intact. Private property may be recorded so long YOU are on PUBLIC or publicly accessible space. Privacy, whether upon/within public or private property, MUST be created. HIPAA violations - ONLY the custodian of records or their agents can violate HIPAA. Neither the Human Eye nor the Camera can be disallowed from seeing/recording of whatever is in open view.
Of course, those are free...and everyone knows that frauditors are lazy freeloaders who refuse to actually work for a living. He doesn't even have money to buy a stamp?!
Postal Workers seem to be in a league all there own., more audits needed through out the U.S. or better screening before hiring all these Darens and Karens....
Don't look at that private and confidential information in full view of the public. It's been proven by the experts, we're getting more and more ignorant by the week. Well done DMA.
She didn't say don't look at it, she said don't record it - and broadcast it on yt for all the world to see. A video recording lasts forever and can be paused to write down information. The people who were physically there were not running up to the counter with paper and pen to write down the information.
I don't understand what Denver Metro Audits is doing at the Post Office or elsewhere. I have been using the Bear Valley branch for 18 years and the service there is remarkable. Everyone I have dealt with there is a dedicated profession, doing their best to serve the people who enter. Heck, they're even received awards for their good work with the public. It seems to me that the "auditor" was being deliberately provocative, trying to get a reaction from any of the workers there. If he had been trying to film me, I would certainly have been far less polite than any of the postal employees. What was your purpose other than trying to incite and anger the people on whom you were focusing your camera? Denver Metro Audits should stop this kind of provocation, unless they can explain the purpose behind their work.
Darryl lost his chill in the end. If he truly believes that you're doing the citizens a service by doing these audits, then he should've been cool all the way. He seemed really troubled trying to have one foot on each side. Either you appreciate what the auditor is doing or you go along with your boss. Don't try to please both sides because you won't please neither one.
He didn't lose his chill. I think he was trying to make the point that "more training" for these types of situations costs money, and they don't get enough funding to give their employees perfect training. Then he had to keep doing his work instead of continue chatting.
Darrel showing his true colors at 13:27 Later in the video he wants to show support for what you do and the 2nd amendment (This is a 1st amendment audit not a 2nd). I would not have highlighted him. He is an actor (meaning that he is inauthentic). He again displayed this in the end of the video.
The plural form of the word camera is cameras, not "camera's". And those cameras that point at them all day are security cameras - they are not broadcast on yt for profit. They also do not interfere with the postal employees' ability to do their work. They don't stand around verbally harassing and insulting the workers as this five foot pile of feces does.
Also, I would just buy a pennie stamp regardless of how many you have. You will receive a receipt with info such as name of employee who sold you the stamp. It will also show you conducting business other than the business of filming which most don’t get.
Just a quick advice, minimise your engagement with the public when you are auditing, and stop bootlicking every employee doing their job what I mean you do not commend until after the audit not during.
I saw one of your videos about the library and how you handled that situation which helps viewers to know the rights we have but come on! watching this video makes me feel that you’re provoking people to react Most people don’t like to be recorded simple as that instead won’t you upload more authority abuse videos that it be interesting like the “park ranger officer”. Thanks
Their names are Darren Edward jolly and Crystal Owens the manager with the glasses that won’t come to speak with at the end lol 😂 she Literally Vanished from you Crystal is a straight up Bully and tries to intimidate people by walking up on them and threatening them horrible horrible
Doing the post office I'm catching it buddy I'm going to check you out see how you do it good luck👍 Yes I made a commit on your video before it even started🤣
The postal workers are some of the most defensive. I will say the service in and around the Hamilton trip. N.J. area used to be on point,however the past 3 years were lucky if we get our mail 3 times a week. Also certified mail is supposed to be signed by someone at the residence if I'm not mistaken, that's why it sent like that ! However bus passes are sent certified and disappear and not received months at a time. So thet obviously are hiding things. A bit off subject but keep fighting for our rights YOU have my full support. I'd like to catch you live.
The USPS is not generally funded by taxes, BUT since 2007 they have received 70 Billion dollars from Congress in order to meet their budget. So yes now it’s tax payer funded!
Post Office Taxes Quite apart from the fact that without taxes, the government would not exist, and thus the Post Office would disappear, or that taxpayers pay billions of dollars to keep the Post Office going, there is the tax every person pays when they post anything larger than a standard letter, any distance further than the town or city in which they live. Abe lives across the road from a P.O. He walks there and posts a letter to his next-door neighbor. The price of postage is 55¢. All the P.O has to do is put it in a mailbox across the road. Darren lives way out in the sticks a hundred miles from the nearest Post Office. He places a standard letter in a mailbox outside his house, addressed to his sister Karen, who lives two thousand miles away, up in the mountains down a wriggly dirt road. The P.O. has to go to much trouble to pick up his letter, truck it to the mailing center a hundred and ten miles away, pick it up in a second truck to take it to the airport, where it is flown to a city two thousand miles away, and then trucked to another post office fifty miles away, where another truck takes it to the closest P.O. Finally, a mailman has to drive many miles to deliver the letter in the mountains. Darren should have paid about $300 to send the letter to his sister Karen. Instead, he pays the same as Abe, just 55¢ Who pays for the missing $299.45¢? Millions of Abes subsidize millions of Karens and Darrens. Let's say the tax is 25¢. It means that Abes SHOULD be paying 30¢ every time they send a standard letter to someone in their city, but instead, they pay TAX of 25¢ so that Darrens, whose letters will go much further, can have the comfort of only paying 55¢. Without those taxes, the post office could not deliver those letters all around the country. This tax is built into the postage rates right under our nose. Then the P.O. has the cheek to say it takes no taxes.
Taxes do not even remotely begin to support and pay for all that the federal govt does. LOANS from the Federal Reserve are what keep this nation afloat.
@@vijabe Taxes allow a government to exist. Once it exists, it can do mischief like print too much money or borrow money as you described. Many taxes are disguised as something else, just as the postage was, and are not called taxes but have other names, like registration, license fees, duties, levies, charges, tolls, customs, certification, accreditation, fines, fees, filing, imposts, claims, dues, demands, damages, expenses, rates, dues, bills, mandates, and others. When the government forgives student loans, taxpayers have to pay all those many billions of dollars. Is it called a tax? No, yet it IS a tax, and there are thousands more just like it.
@@roblarrikin I have done research on this topic. It does not matter what a tax is called. Taxes and income to the govt, of ANY name and in any form, do not remotely come close to funding our govt. It is a fantasy to believe that taxes support all that our nation does. You could tax 100% of the people in this country, at a 100% tax rate - including Elon Musk, Bill Gates, Warren Buffet, etc., and it would. not. come. close. to paying for our govt expenditures.
@@vijabe As I said, taxes allow a government to exist. How do you expect a government to fund itself if it doesn't exist? Once it exists and it does whatever it does with funding, printing, and borrowing, it's never going to say no to the taxes, regardless of which is greater.
@@roblarrikin In days of old, yes, levies and some minor taxes supported govt operations. Now, taxes - in any name or form, are woefully inadequate. As in nearly $1 TRILLION/yearly inadequate. Your original argument, however, was that w/out taxpayer dollars, the Post Office would not exist. That is false. No taxpayer money funds operational expenses. To your point, it is correct to say that w/out Fed borrowed bail outs, the Post Office would not exist. Just as the Auto, Airline and Banking industries would not exist w/out Fed borrowed bail outs. Sure, ~theoretically taxpayers will have to pay that money back, but you know as well as I do that will NEVER happen. Our engineered system of fiat money, funded by the Fed, w/ built in inflation, will soon collapse and no one will be paying back anything. We will have our nice, Great Reset, be uniformly destitute, own nothing and ~be happy.
You do seem close to the counter but hard to tell on vid . . Darren is under the witness protection program today ( ha ) . THANK GOD ! Your First amendment gives you permission to film in public areas open to the public including the federal post office . I do believe somewhat that a person with a camera filming legally say in a post office should be quiet , allow flow and do stay out of the way . sshhhh a bit . Peace from Up North .
If the USPS was a private business, they would have gone out of business a long time ago. Our local post office is really a joke. 30 or more people in line in the lobby and they have "one" person at the counters to help patrons.
How is there "confidential and private" information on boxes at the post office when name and addresses are on the outside of boxes and the boxes are handled by numerous people?
Denver you get a true statement from a postal employee, supporting your work and at the end you put the man in between the sword and the wall. Nobody in that post office , go take it well. Specially the manager. Friendly fire is not fine.
This is my post office I have driven 30 minutes to another post office just not to deal with these people. Usually one person working and three wondering around back.

If only the postal service, a public good that actually benefits the us citizen got as big of a budget as all the police departments in this country, we probably wouldn’t have to deal with all the bull shit that comes with the postal service today.
If you buy a stamp and you get a receipt doesn’t the receipt have the persons name of who served you??? For a survey
He didn't have money for a stamp.
Late reply. No it doesn’t. I’m a window clerk as well but it only gives the clerk number.
So that whole operation is funded by selling postage stamps, that's the first I've ever heard that, is every post office like that cuz I always thought it was funded by the public by tax dollars
@@MrButchersTube USPS lost $87 billion over the past 14 fiscal years-including $9.2 billion in fiscal year 2020-and expects to lose $9.7 billion in fiscal year 2021.
No they're not. They lose money year over year and those losses are being paid by tax dollars.
@@alexsmith2766 so this guy blatantly lied to make it look like he was wrong like always not funded by taxpayer dollars it's funded by selling stamps
@@d.menace9256 Yep either intentionally lied to make the auditor look bad or the postal employee was genuinely ignorant, eitherway he was wrong
Lol we need to meet manager at the McDonald’s on colfax and Kipling
In April of 2020 Congress approved 10 billion from the Treasury of United States to the post office.
Lmfaooo realized the face blur 😂😭😂😭😂😭💀💀💀💀💀
6:15 - The reason they won't give you a piece of paper, and want you to go online to file a complaint is simple. The online world isn't regulated by government. It's regulated by corporations. So if you file a complaint online, it isn't worth the paper it's written on.
I guess if we want them to do their jobs and keep our info private, we need to go in with cameras!? All that mail sat there until you went with camera!
Get that dude's name and go back on a follow up say hi with his name 🤣😂✌️
Denver Metro Audits if a surgeon went into an operating room unprepared they would deserve criticism, same holds for Auditors/members of the press.
As an example the post officer took 25 billion of taxpayer money in August of 2020. Since the 25 Billion is fungible, yes his salary was paid by the taxpayers of the USA. The buildings he earns his livelihood in, the postal vehicles he drives and the postal machines he operates are all owned by We The People. The USPS is an agency in the Executive branch of the Federal Government which is why they are Federal employees. The arrogance of USPS employees, they want the benefits and protections of being public employees but none of the accountability that goes with it.
@@cynthiaspillman5862 yes they are all the billions of dollars the taxpayers give to the USPS is fungible, you can't say it goes to fund other things but paychecks are paid by stamps. That idea is just false and repeated by postal employees that want the protections of being government employees without having to be accountable to the taxpayers.
@@cynthiaspillman5862 Are you actually denying that the taxpayers gave the USPS 25 billion in Aug, 2020?
@@cynthiaspillman5862 Stop listening to the BS the union is telling you and do your research. There was no loan, a loan denotes that you would pay the taxpayers back.
All the non leased building the USPS uses every Machine every vehicle it drives is own by the US taxpayers, how much Rental does the USPS pay?
@@cynthiaspillman5862 "assuming whom and where I get my facts " on the contrary after reading your posts I know you have NO facts. The second you denied the taxpayers giving 25 Billion to the USPS in August of 2020 you had no facts or credibility on this subject.
"Where did I say loan?" You are the one that brought up the notion that it was a loan. Here is what you said:
"and tells you, the public that they are loaning it." are you also going to deny this like everything else?
@@cynthiaspillman5862 I posted your exact wording, you are the one that mentioned "loaning" not me. You said "and tells you, the public that they are loaning it." We the people own the post office. We own the buildings or leases, the machines and vehicles The billions of dollars we gave to the USPS last year is fungible so it is false to say It went to everything but salaries.
Silly ridiculous behavior so unprofessional very unnecessary grow up! It’s just a…..CAMERA !
They are just to ignorant to understand
If the option of keeping or eliminating the US postal ever came to a vote, I would vote to shut them down. It's a service that can be handled 100% by the private sector.
Why would saving hundreds of millions dollars make any sense.
I agree 💯
Agreed.
Have any of you who want to shut down the USPS ever compared its rates with UPS, FedEx, etc.? You'd be complaining about the costs as soon as the private sector took over!
@@peterfreitag2756 the fact that FedEx, UPS and DHL have managed to stay in business even when USPS is a "cheaper" alternative says that people are willing to pay more for a reliable and better service. We live in a digital age and the bulk of correspondence is done electronically. It just doesn't make sense to have government run agency to provide limited services. They are running at a loss. Better to bailout & shutdown today than later.
They just want to say something!! Like my mom says ,They just want to say something because they have a big fat mouth.
Leaving parcels on the counter is not secure. Not only for private data, but for those with bad intentions.
Usually there is a canvas container behind the counter in which they are out of sight and out of grab.
I guess the postal workers felt caught in their uncommon treatment of post parcels and letters, and reacted aggressive because it was recorded. In all, not a very professional location.
I always told amagwhatever press to come do Brighton to do the armory post office police department he never did I hope you consider Brighton to do the audits I love this stuff they idiots
Loving your content and continue with the great work.
His "content" consists of extremely boring videos of the post office. You are easily amused.
@@wyattearpswoman838 Uh, who said I'm easily amused? No one.
You should of gone to the manager screw the supervisor
Should have, not should "of".
Your video was a bit blurred around the edges. Dirty lens?
What is an AUDIT?
It is one way to keep check on our government officials. You are definitely not in the conference room anymore. We the People are the Overlords and Masters of our SERVANTS, government. Look at it in comparison to the TV show "Undercover BOSS." Without revealing identity, the undercover boss (auditor) checks up on their employees (government) to grade the merit of their service.
In auditing, 1A gives the auditor greater access than does 2A auditing, although one may exercise as many rights in parallel as they choose.
A constitutionally protected activity, in and of itself, cannot be converted into a crime.
To further your understanding of 1A, read below and please do your own research as well.

@@wyattearpswoman838 Reminds me of US Congress members...
The description is very accurate!
Thanks!
Postal Workers seem to be in a league all there own., more audits needed through out the U.S. or better screening before hiring all these Darens and Karens....
Were those blurry faces a camera glitch?
Don't look at that private and confidential information in full view of the public. It's been proven by the experts, we're getting more and more ignorant by the week. Well done DMA.
Ya that just shows how stupid they are to put confidential info in public view. Thanks 😊
She didn't say don't look at it, she said don't record it - and broadcast it on yt for all the world to see. A video recording lasts forever and can be paused to write down information. The people who were physically there were not running up to the counter with paper and pen to write down the information.
@@DenverMetroAudits I bet they are smart enough to know how to spell "yeah".
AWESOME!!!😀💢😀💢😀💢😀💢😀💢😀💢😀💢😀💢😀
I don't understand what Denver Metro Audits is doing at the Post Office or elsewhere. I have been using the Bear Valley branch for 18 years and the service there is remarkable. Everyone I have dealt with there is a dedicated profession, doing their best to serve the people who enter. Heck, they're even received awards for their good work with the public.
It seems to me that the "auditor" was being deliberately provocative, trying to get a reaction from any of the workers there. If he had been trying to film me, I would certainly have been far less polite than any of the postal employees. What was your purpose other than trying to incite and anger the people on whom you were focusing your camera?
Denver Metro Audits should stop this kind of provocation, unless they can explain the purpose behind their work.
Why did you blur his face out?
ROR sent me....stay safe!!
Why did you blur his face?
I'll keep watching but you got to get educated on what they're getting was all due respect
What??
Why do some employees have their faces blurred like Joanna;) You feel guilty or what the hell is going on man?
Great job
This is not a "job", nor is it "work".
Darryl lost his chill in the end. If he truly believes that you're doing the citizens a service by doing these audits, then he should've been cool all the way. He seemed really troubled trying to have one foot on each side. Either you appreciate what the auditor is doing or you go along with your boss. Don't try to please both sides because you won't please neither one.
He didn't lose his chill. I think he was trying to make the point that "more training" for these types of situations costs money, and they don't get enough funding to give their employees perfect training. Then he had to keep doing his work instead of continue chatting.
Darrel showing his true colors at 13:27 Later in the video he wants to show support for what you do and the 2nd amendment (This is a 1st amendment audit not a 2nd). I would not have highlighted him. He is an actor (meaning that he is inauthentic). He again displayed this in the end of the video.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 they know why you're there, time to change places for these videos
How many camera's are watching those employees every minute of every day? Yet they freak out when a member of the public points one at them!
The plural form of the word camera is cameras, not "camera's". And those cameras that point at them all day are security cameras - they are not broadcast on yt for profit. They also do not interfere with the postal employees' ability to do their work. They don't stand around verbally harassing and insulting the workers as this five foot pile of feces does.
Also, I would just buy a pennie stamp regardless of how many you have. You will receive a receipt with info such as name of employee who sold you the stamp. It will also show you conducting business other than the business of filming which most don’t get.
It's spelled penny, not "pennie", ffs!
@@wyattearpswoman838 pennie pennie pennie pennie
Why you Burr there Face?
The USPS doesn’t answer the website. I’ve never been contacted after I filed a complaint.
Just a quick advice, minimise your engagement with the public when you are auditing, and stop bootlicking every employee doing their job what I mean you do not commend until after the audit not during.
why you covered his face ??? blurred
Postal employees typically do not ID
I wonder what their policy is.
weed lence LOL
wu tang.
I saw one of your videos about the library and how you handled that situation which helps viewers to know the rights we have but come on! watching this video makes me feel that you’re provoking people to react Most people don’t like to be recorded simple as that instead won’t you upload more authority abuse videos that it be interesting like the “park ranger officer”. Thanks
Their names are Darren Edward jolly and Crystal Owens the manager with the glasses that won’t come to speak with at the end lol 😂 she Literally Vanished from you Crystal is a straight up Bully and tries to intimidate people by walking up on them and threatening them horrible horrible
Jesus, you sure have a knack for finding the two-faced ones that are on your side then suddenly turn into pricks
There's no educating some people..
I thought the beginning had a filter added around it but it's there for the entire video. Just FYI, not a fan. Keep up the good work!
I knew I was gonna get flack for that! Lol it’s a effect on my camera and I didn’t know it was on. Im not a fan either. Thanks bro!
Doing the post office I'm catching it buddy I'm going to check you out see how you do it good luck👍
Yes I made a commit on your video before it even started🤣
I loved your last video but this one you went a little too far
The postal workers are some of the most defensive. I will say the service in and around the Hamilton trip. N.J. area used to be on point,however the past 3 years were lucky if we get our mail 3 times a week. Also certified mail is supposed to be signed by someone at the residence if I'm not mistaken, that's why it sent like that ! However bus passes are sent certified and disappear and not received months at a time. So thet obviously are hiding things. A bit off subject but keep fighting for our rights YOU have my full support. I'd like to catch you live.
Keep going back with your camera.
Much respect 👊🍻
Respect for being an annoying pest?
The USPS is not generally funded by taxes, BUT since 2007 they have received 70 Billion dollars from Congress in order to meet their budget. So yes now it’s tax payer funded!
Put a mask on DMA.
Why?
Masks are not required in my state
My wife and I came across your videos but why are you blurring out the culprits???
Please explain
Post Office Taxes
Quite apart from the fact that without taxes, the government would not exist, and thus the Post Office would disappear, or that taxpayers pay billions of dollars to keep the Post Office going, there is the tax every person pays when they post anything larger than a standard letter, any distance further than the town or city in which they live.
Abe lives across the road from a P.O. He walks there and posts a letter to his next-door neighbor. The price of postage is 55¢. All the P.O has to do is put it in a mailbox across the road.
Darren lives way out in the sticks a hundred miles from the nearest Post Office. He places a standard letter in a mailbox outside his house, addressed to his sister Karen, who lives two thousand miles away, up in the mountains down a wriggly dirt road. The P.O. has to go to much trouble to pick up his letter, truck it to the mailing center a hundred and ten miles away, pick it up in a second truck to take it to the airport, where it is flown to a city two thousand miles away, and then trucked to another post office fifty miles away, where another truck takes it to the closest P.O. Finally, a mailman has to drive many miles to deliver the letter in the mountains.
Darren should have paid about $300 to send the letter to his sister Karen. Instead, he pays the same as Abe, just 55¢
Who pays for the missing $299.45¢?
Millions of Abes subsidize millions of Karens and Darrens. Let's say the tax is 25¢. It means that Abes SHOULD be paying 30¢ every time they send a standard letter to someone in their city, but instead, they pay TAX of 25¢ so that Darrens, whose letters will go much further, can have the comfort of only paying 55¢. Without those taxes, the post office could not deliver those letters all around the country. This tax is built into the postage rates right under our nose. Then the P.O. has the cheek to say it takes no taxes.
Taxes do not even remotely begin to support and pay for all that the federal govt does. LOANS from the Federal Reserve are what keep this nation afloat.
@@vijabe Taxes allow a government to exist. Once it exists, it can do mischief like print too much money or borrow money as you described. Many taxes are disguised as something else, just as the postage was, and are not called taxes but have other names, like registration, license fees, duties, levies, charges, tolls, customs, certification, accreditation, fines, fees, filing, imposts, claims, dues, demands, damages, expenses, rates, dues, bills, mandates, and others. When the government forgives student loans, taxpayers have to pay all those many billions of dollars. Is it called a tax? No, yet it IS a tax, and there are thousands more just like it.
@@roblarrikin I have done research on this topic. It does not matter what a tax is called. Taxes and income to the govt, of ANY name and in any form, do not remotely come close to funding our govt. It is a fantasy to believe that taxes support all that our nation does. You could tax 100% of the people in this country, at a 100% tax rate - including Elon Musk, Bill Gates, Warren Buffet, etc., and it would. not. come. close. to paying for our govt expenditures.
@@vijabe As I said, taxes allow a government to exist. How do you expect a government to fund itself if it doesn't exist? Once it exists and it does whatever it does with funding, printing, and borrowing, it's never going to say no to the taxes, regardless of which is greater.
@@roblarrikin In days of old, yes, levies and some minor taxes supported govt operations. Now, taxes - in any name or form, are woefully inadequate. As in nearly $1 TRILLION/yearly inadequate. Your original argument, however, was that w/out taxpayer dollars, the Post Office would not exist. That is false. No taxpayer money funds operational expenses. To your point, it is correct to say that w/out Fed borrowed bail outs, the Post Office would not exist. Just as the Auto, Airline and Banking industries would not exist w/out Fed borrowed bail outs.
Sure, ~theoretically taxpayers will have to pay that money back, but you know as well as I do that will NEVER happen. Our engineered system of fiat money, funded by the Fed, w/ built in inflation, will soon collapse and no one will be paying back anything. We will have our nice, Great Reset, be uniformly destitute, own nothing and ~be happy.
You do seem close to the counter but hard to tell on vid . . Darren is under the witness protection program today ( ha ) . THANK GOD ! Your First amendment gives you permission to film in public areas open to the public including the federal post office .
I do believe somewhat that a person with a camera filming legally say in a post office should be quiet , allow flow and do stay out of the way .
sshhhh a bit . Peace from Up North .
Back up 6 feet and zoom in 12 feet smh. Bunch of bozos
Politeness kills them every time.
Get some act right
Dude got see comments on Littleton CO audit. Kathryn makes white power sign when she had her back to you.
If the USPS was a private business, they would have gone out of business a long time ago. Our local post office is really a joke. 30 or more people in line in the lobby and they have "one" person at the counters to help patrons.
How is there "confidential and private" information on boxes at the post office when name and addresses are on the outside of boxes and the boxes are handled by numerous people?
Wrong post office dude…..$18 billion a year cofiscated from taxpayers by USPS
