USPS should be making every effort in such a crisis to <i>expand</i> the number of things it does for the community, not decrease them. How about, neighborhood banking services, ID verification, government benefits administration, etc? A whole slew of services that they could be the local outpost for -- in every single town in the US?<p>Unfortunately, the same Congress calling them to task are the ones tying their hands from being able to innovate what they do in this changing world. And produces a dysfunctional, costs-go-to-the-consumer mentality that is destined a slow painful death.
It’s great to see how easy it is for bad actors to undermine the institutions Americans depend on. And by great, I mean absolutely awful. I hope that going forward governments are better about drafting legislation that doesn’t allow one person to slowly dismantle everything according to their whims.<p>I assume this is partly why my BarkBox shipment from USPS, which used to arrive in days, has now been stuck in transit for over two weeks. Bark says it’s because of COVID, but based on the news coming out about USPS, seems more like it’s conservatives trying to dismantle the post office.
americans, this is the time to ring up your legislators. elections will be stolen | rigged in broad daylight. first the president says mail in votes results in voter fraud. appoints a postmaster general that will do his bidding. then consider the legislation passed by R, to get USPS to lose money. once again, Fascism comes draped in an american flag carrying a bible. Remember people are already getting snatched off the streets - only the beginning.
