Of course they were not answering (a large volume of calls), and said that if the mailbox was full to go to the website and leave a message. Well I left one, about the mail service. I get my drugs via mail, I was supposed to get my meds last week, they were mailed on Monday of last week, still not here. Yesterday we did not get any mail and two pieces were not picked up. If I don't get my meds today, I will have to call the company and find out where they are. My neighbors are in the same boat, I talked to her over the fence last night.
This mail slowdown is not just about voting it is about all of the things we get by mail now. How many people who don't have internet access only pay their bills with the US Mail? If they are late, there is a late charge and their credit gets dinged. WE can no longer trust the US Mail to delever things in a timely manner.
What a mess.

Now they can't handle the normal load on an uneventful July day.

She said will all of the additional packages during the pandemic there is no way she can get done in an 8 hour shift. We are at the end of her route so I'm sure she ran out of time yesterday.

(67,109 posts)bad so many Americans are too ignorant and gullible to comprehend what is going on in the US. FFS, it should not matter if one is democratic, republican or independent they should be extremely concerned with what is occurring. And worst, we have a GOP senate that sits on their asses and does nothing. Many IMO in the GOP senate are fucken traitors.

(67,109 posts)Putin is so damn dangerous, and many in the GOP senate are IMO traitors. What else can one say/think. And we have a populace wherein many are gullible and damn fools. In fact, the US is so fucked up now who knows what it will be in the future.
